There may need to be modifications to the environment, such as lighting, access to healthy food, and access to physical activity. ]]> 2018-06-10 02:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/isaac_lukes/u53cz3xgcss5/wish/266443150 Driving Question isaac_lukes https://padlet.com/isaac_lukes/u53cz3xgcss5/wish/266443219 What needs to be implemented or changed in the work environment to provide safety and enhance the health of the employees?]]> 2018-06-10 03:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/isaac_lukes/u53cz3xgcss5/wish/266443219 isaac_lukes https://padlet.com/isaac_lukes/u53cz3xgcss5/wish/266491833 Environmental Supports for Workplace Wellness ]]> 2018-06-10 18:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/isaac_lukes/u53cz3xgcss5/wish/266491833 References isaac_lukes https://padlet.com/isaac_lukes/u53cz3xgcss5/wish/266492130 Prevention, C. f.

Many people think that employee wellness programs are for improving just physical health, but this article says “the leading employers are switching from trying to improve physical health to using holistic wellness strategies”. This article also looks at increasing employees social connectedness, job satisfaction, and financial security.
