Your health is your most valuable asset, so health treatments are not an indulgence, but an important part of living well. I know what you are going to say. “How am I supposed to stay on top of my health when work, family, and life obligations consume my time?” It’s a great question that many people are faced with in today’s fast-moving world.
With the high cost of modern medical treatments, disability leaves, stress leaves, and increased absenteeism from illness or injury, it is also a question more and more organizations are seriously exploring. So what can a company do to keep their employees healthy and happy? Implementing a workplace wellness program is certainly a step in the right direction. It will give your organization a positive return-on-investment that offers a win-win situation for everyone.
Workplace Wellness
Many companies have embraced workplace wellness for a slew of reasons. Workplace wellness programs help employees adopt a healthier lifestyle, resulting in better weight management, improved physical fitness, increased stamina, enhanced concentration, fewer sick days, lower levels of stress, and ultimately drops in absenteeism.
For a company like the Fairmont Pacific Rim, they know firsthand the health advantages that come from incorporating a workplace wellness program. They recently hosted a health and wellness fair with vendors from around the city, including our very own Active Life Mobile Acupuncture. Our director of operations, Claudia Chen, and mobile registered acupuncturist, Gabrielle Fox, offered free acupuncture needling demos, and spoke about the many health benefits of acupuncture.
HR Advisor, Liana Buljevic, emailed me after the event. I know my team is amazing, but it was wonderful to hear it from someone else!
“THANK YOU… THANK YOU… THANK YOU for making the Fairmont Pacific Rim Health & Wellness Fair a HUGE success!
Please allow me this opportunity to say it was an absolute pleasure to have you join us. I would like to personally thank you for your contributions to Wellness for our Colleagues. I received a lot of great feedback about your mini treatments at your booth. I will definitely recommend you to any Colleague/Leader looking for alternative approaches to treating illness other than the use of “drugs and rest” 🙂 I’m really glad to see that our benefits plan covers Acupuncture treatments.”
Companies like Fairmont Pacific Rim have created a healthy organizational culture and a positive work environment that will help improve the quality of life of their employees—and Active Life Mobile Acupuncture was proud to be a part of that journey.
