Commentary: “New year, new you!” It’s a mantra heard every January. But this year, let’s go for “New year, happier, healthier you!” Our focus should not be about resolving a complete overhaul, but instead, making our lives work for us to set us up for our best lives now. While many employees see the start to 2016 as the prime time to implement a wellness regimen, inevitable challenges – especially in the workplace – can quickly quash that fervor.
But it doesn’t have to be the case; companies nationwide have found ways to work wellness into their offices on a daily basis, bolstering employee health and happiness. Employees will spend a third of their lives in the workplace; it’s a key spot for sustaining a sense of wellbeing and self-care. Reports have shown that the extra effort toward implementation will pay off in spades, for both your employees and your bottom line.
