Wellness 101
Health is defined as an optimal state of physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual well being. The same explanation applies to Wellness. It's like that old saying "You don't have anything if you don't have your health." Our birth certificates don't have an expiration date. We're entitled to a lifetime of Wellness. But we have to earn it.
What you are provided today, though, is a wellness plan. Your employer sees the extreme value it brings you as the employee and the company overall.
What is a wellness program?
Wellness programs focus on preventive conduct and a healthy lifestyle. They are designed to inform you of your current health risks and help you by giving you tools and programs to modify your behavior for a longer, stronger, healthier life.
Why should I be involved in wellness?
The benefit of a wellness program is to improve overall health. Wellness is striving to assist employees to create a healthier lifestyle by improving physical fitness, lowering stress level, maintaining a healthy weight, and improving stamina.
How can this impact my healthcare?
It could potentially lower the money you spend on healthcare, providing better benefits at a lower cost for you.
