Why Worksite Wellness?

Wellness is important and relevant in the workplace because most employees want to be healthy, happy, and productive. Experts believe that prioritizing employee wellness may be just the push necessary for seriously dedicated employees who may burn out or get sick if their well-being is ignored.

Improving wellness in the workplace requires organizations to make it a part of their corporate culture. If employees don't understand why wellness is important or don't feel supported in taking advantage of the programs available to them, then even the best programs are pointless.
