Workplace wellness is an investment...

"Stress rarely occurs in isolation, and in some cases, stress in one milieu may create stressors in another. For instance, problems at work may cause tension at home, which may, in turn, exacerbate work problems."
Statistics Canada Health Reports

...isn't it time you see the returns?

Workplace wellness is not just about "being nice". There is a solid business case for investing in wellness.

Recent statistics have shown that in Canada, as much as 54% of injuries incurred in the workplace are paid for by overall health system, and not worker's compensation - and we all pay for that. In the US, where there is no such backup system, the costs of illness and injury are borne by the employer.

Other costs are incurred in a hidden way: presenteeism. Your employee is sitting there but is he or she performing at peak levels?

If you agree that it is time to reduce your costs through prevention, recognition, and assistance, then this is the site for you.

Don't think your workplace can be improved by a wellness program? Here is some information for you to consider ...

What is Workplace Wellness

Wellness is that quality that gives us the sense that everything is under control, which in turn allows us to focus fully on what we are doing without distraction from negative stress, disease, or conflict. Wellness is a form of homeostasis - the process that maintains our internal equilibrium.

Workplace wellness is an on-going and holistic undertaking, requiring you to consider all aspects of an individual: their attitudes and home life, as well as what happens during work hours.

A comprehensive workplace wellness program ideally consists of three components: Prevention, Recognition, and Assistance. This can be implemented as various modules:

• healthy eating,
• fitness programs,
• smoking cessation,
• workplace safety,
• ergononic workspaces,
• first aid and C.P.R.,
• coaching and counselling,
• lunch and learns,
• on-site healthcare,

and so on.
