Benefits of Hosting Workplace Wellness Workshops

Posted on September 27, 2017

Successful employers understand that workplace wellness programs need to reach beyond just physical fitness. Wellness workshops can provide a wide variety of useful health education topics in an interactive and engaging format. Hosting professional speakers to educate employees on issues that may be affecting their overall health can create positive behavior change and drive health initiatives within the organization.

Here are some tips to ensure your wellness workshops are successful: 

Provide food. The best time to offer a workshop is during the lunch hour. If employees need to push deadlines or cancel meetings to attend, turnout drops significantly. And free food always draws a crowd.

Don’t make them mandatory. Health education is a choice and should not be forced. Successful workshops are filled with engaged participants, not those busy constantly checking their watch.

Make sure your topics are relevant to your workforce. Do your employees work long hours in a high-stress environment? Try a work-life balance workshop. Are food options onsite limited? How about a workshop on easy ways to pack a healthy lunch? If you know your employees, you know the issues they are faced with.

Hosting wellness workshop for your employees shows that you care about their health and well-being, which leads to improved morale and greater retention rates.

Curtis Health has a wide variety of workshops offered at an affordable cost. Contact us today and find out how we can help your employees adopt healthy lifestyle choices! https://curtishealth.com/wellness-programs/workshops/

    What you said about not forcing employees to take wellness workshops got me thinking about how important it’s to have people who really want to be there and participate. I’m going to talk to my boss about having an emotional wellness seminar because I’ve noticed that many of our employees don’t know how to express themselves. This can be a great way for them to work out problems and figure out how to properly express emotions in the office.
