Worksite wellness should support the employees of the business while maintaining the company’s mission, purpose, and goals to create leadership support and sustainability. Displaying care towards employee well-being while developing a culture of health in the workplace exemplifies healthy habits with continuous support. Incentives and fun ideas can help captivate the participation of employees, which produces healthier habits and healthier employees. Employees spend the majority of their time at work; incorporating healthier activities and support leads to more productive employees with improved job satisfaction. ]]> 2018-09-08 20:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholslog/umpdg1ho0wop/wish/279108631 Thinking Map nicholslog https://padlet.com/nicholslog/umpdg1ho0wop/wish/282065224 2018-09-17 00:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholslog/umpdg1ho0wop/wish/282065224 Briefcase Project thoughts... nicholslog https://padlet.com/nicholslog/umpdg1ho0wop/wish/282070813 I am interested in well-being in work, culture of health, and programming. I personally love my job being a supervisor in an outpatient physical therapy clinic. I have always thought of creating programs for patients: walks/support groups for patients, prevention classes for athletes or young children, and a better wellness program for employees. Right now, the employees in my clinic work so hard, sometimes during lunch to see patients, due to rules from higher management. I am interested in seeing how to improve the wellbeing at work and if we can have better support from leadership in creating a less stressful environment. ]]> 2018-09-17 01:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholslog/umpdg1ho0wop/wish/282070813 Original Topic nicholslog https://padlet.com/nicholslog/umpdg1ho0wop/wish/282070934 Positive corporate culture for employees

Government

Many state, local, and federal government entities offer wellness programs to employees. This does not even include city, county, school, or public university programs. There are so many case studies, research articles, and websites dedicated to individual programs nationally that it is impossible to list all the resources here. You are urged to explore several on your own.
