In tough economic times, employee health is becoming a priority for many organizations.

I firmly believe that providing opportunities for staff to meet each other and connect over common interests has a powerful impact on increasing employee morale and engagement. This type of workplace social networking builds cooperation and fosters concern for colleagues. This form of building a healthy workplace culture on multiple planes nurtures a healthy workplace environment and culture which starts to become self-sustaining.

Essential to comprehensive workplace wellness is the incorporation of wellness into the organization's strategic plan, thus signifying a shift away from relying solely on traditional 'soft' skills of support and encouragement.

Workplace Wellness programs are recognized as an effective way to provide healthy and safe working environments that lead to a healthier workforce. This in turn results in economic benefits for employers through reduction of preventable claims, absenteeism, and increased productivity and employee morale.

Clearly an opportunity exists for employers to invest in the health of their workforce – and their companies – by making workplace wellness a core business strategy.

CWS programs have a strong evaluation component based on both health and economic indicators  that serves as both a planning and evaluation tool.

Enlightened organizations create a culture of wellness because they know that the cost of doing nothing is unsustainable and threatens an organizations viability. The time to act is now.

I don’t need a chart to prove to me that productivity improves with the health of employees.

CWS programs are directed by needs identified by employers and employees based on valid assessment tools and are comprehensive and sustainable.

Our programs are incorporated into all aspects of the workplace, and development of  effective communication plans and strategies to enhance participation are critical.

Workplace wellness programs which start with an upfront evaluation, and in turn respond to the identified needs as provided in an aggregate profile, can and do have great success for employees and employers.
