Workplace Wellness – A Customized Approach to Wellness in the Workplace
Low productivity?
Increased turnover?
Decreased quality?
Toxic work culture?
Stress and poor communication are frequently at the root of these common business problems. Workplace Wellness helps organizations meet these issues head-on. Our skilled trainers offer engaging, educational team-building workshops that equip employees with effective communication and stress management skills.
Recent studies* indicate that:
94% of employees experience workplace stress
Thirty-three percent of workers consider resigning due to frustration with poor communication
Peer support and positive communication are among the strongest predictors of employee health, well-being, and a cohesive work group
The purpose of the Workplace Wellness Workshop is to help businesses understand, improve, and maintain the positive feedback system between worker health and total organizational health. All work is based on scientific research and is customized to meet the organization’s unique set of needs, risks, and current level of wellness.
Several companies have utilized the training as wellness points to reduce health benefit costs.
What Data Says:
