Wellness Programs for Small Business

Nov. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Many companies simply do not have the resources necessary to develop a large, comprehensive Wellness Program. In fact, many groups are struggling just to provide group health insurance for their employees. However, targeting Wellness is still vital for smaller companies, as studies show how Wellness efforts have been proven to:

-Improve company morale and productivity.
-Reduce overall health care costs.
-Retain and attract employees.

Even though your company might not be capable of funding a comprehensive Wellness Program, there are low-cost or even no-cost options available to improve the health and wellness of your employees.

Consider these ideas:
-Invite representatives of hospitals, non-profit health organizations or other health care  providers to visit and make presentations to your employees on the benefits of healthy lifestyles.
-Contact your broker if your health insurance carrier does not offer free Health Risk Assessments – most do.
-Develop a Wellness Team that consists of interested employees to head the effort. Begin with simple activities, like healthy-diet days and lunch-time walks.
-Create a smoke-free environment at the workplace.
-Offer free or reduced-cost flu shots at the job site.
-Make healthy vending machine choices readily available.
-Encourage short physical activity sessions during the day for employees and applaud outside running or walking habits.
-Provide educational materials about the benefits of healthy eating, exercising, not smoking and other beneficial lifestyle changes.
Ask your broker or call us at Tevis Insurance Solutions about Wellness newsletters, posters and other communications to support your Wellness efforts.
-Contact Tevis Insurance Solutions for a variety of Wellness Tools to benefit your employees!
