What is an Employee Wellness Program?
Employee wellness programs are a great way to promote healthy lifestyles among employees. A recent survey reveals that over 78% of Ghana companies suffer from work stress or have chronic health conditions, cutting 35% off their productivity levels in return for nothing more than some positive changes at home and less time away on sick leave. And all this can be done without having to pay out anything extra. It just comes free with any company offering these types of benefit plans (that sounds like total win).
People often forget how much good they’re doing themselves by taking care not only physical but also mental wellbeing. Think about your own situation: maybe being too busy means one forgets entirely what he had planned. The same goes with employees. That is why wellbein programs are beneficial for organizations.
