Health and Wellness at Work

Address Two Spheres of Health

Health and Wellness are two key aspects of the workplace no one should ever ignore. Further, managing these is always a group effort, as managing each employee’s health means effectively managing the company as a whole. However, before we even get to managing the overall health of the workplace, we must first explain which aspects of Health and Wellness need focusing on. By this, we intend to explain the differences between physical and emotional health, as both require different ways of management. Knowing these two dimensions of health and wellness intimately will lay the groundwork for physical and emotional care within the workplace.

Put the Work on Teamwork

In this section, participants will understand the biological importance of communication and mutual reliance. Merely knowing that you can count on your teammates to assist you with tasks that can be too daunting when done alone can help alleviate the mental pressure that comes with your work. It therefore means less stress and increased morale. More than that, however, promoting that sense of camaraderie within the group will help keep productivity levels high even in emergencies (such as an employee taking temporary leave), as employees learn how to turn pressure itself into a great morale booster.

Help with Individual Problems

Now, it’s understandable that company-wide communication is certainly a plus, but even that might not be enough to save employees from their more personal demons. Is a colleague too afraid to speak in public? Do they have family problems and need someone to help them get back on their feet? Do you also have your own personal problems? These are just some of the questions that any professional needs to ask. Of course, companies do not require employees to have psychology degrees most of the time, but simply knowing how to help someone experiencing from depression or personal crises and facilitating personal communication will not only better your social skills, but also help your company in indirect ways such as employee views on the company and morale levels. After all, a top employee isn’t just someone with numerical output, but one with a heart for others’ concerns.

Have a Balanced Diet Despite Being Busy

Health conscious people often understand that investing on healthy food means investing in themselves, therefore creating a stronger mind and body. For employers and businesses, it can mean more focused staff and a positive workplace. How many calories should you consume every day to maintain proper body weight? Which food provide the most amounts of nutrition at any given day? Here, our trainer will provide some methods and techniques on working these areas out to give a healthier balance to participants.

Learn Some Exercise Routines at Work

Now, most employees often look forward to the 2, sometimes 3 breaks between the start of working day, and the end of the work day. Within such breaks, they typically simply take power naps, search things on the internet, or catch up to friends in idle conversation. But sometimes, simply using those times to have a little physical movement can really help them increase their focus and promote good health. You can even do so while actually working; you may find that some exercise routines can be done without distracting others and even while sitting down.

Be More Transparent About Their Health

We get it: some of us do not want to worry others by keeping silent about things going on within ourselves. It’s not even a matter of personal pride really; it’s just our way of showing courtesy or respect by not worrying them. Lots of people appreciate respect and courtesy, but it is also necessary to prioritize yourself. It goes without saying that people should inform their colleagues and superiors if they’re ill. The goal of this training course is to help foster this sense of self. Through this training course, you’ll learn not only how to help others in need, but also maximize your sense of self-care.
