Mark III Wellness Program
It’s a new year! By this time, you’ve likely set financial, strategic-initiative, and work-related goals – but what about personal goals?
At Mark III, we know personal wellness – both mental and physical – is a necessary ingredient to a well-rounded and fulfilling work environment (perhaps it’s why we have been named the best place to work by the Sacramento Business Journal four years running, too!).
What is an employee wellness program?
An employee wellness program includes any work-place sponsored activities that promote well-being. A wellness program could include filtered water stations, stand-up desks (link here for what we offer employees), educational seminars, access to a gym facility, company marathons/fitness competitions, tools to quit smoking, etc.
Why do you need it?
If your first thought is, “It’s too expensive for us,” consider the return on investment (ROI). A corporate wellness program may be easier to digest when broken down by its benefits – consider these factors as you plan your company offerings:
Higher Employee Morale
With a wellness program, employees are set up not only to be healthier but also happier. Exercise increases energy and focus, which in turn boosts productivity.
ROI – Boosted productivity
Stronger Workplace Relationships
Do you find that some independent departments within your company rarely interact? Hosting company fitness activities could be a simple solution to making employees feel more supported by giving them the time to connect and share stories about their job functions with their peers.
ROI – Team building
Recruitment and Retention
A wellness program can also be used as a recruiting tool to make your company stand out to prospective employees. While other benefits may be required by law, a wellness program tells an applicant that you are willing to go beyond what is required to keep them happy. Fitness activities can help initiate new hires to your team and streamline socialization and familiarity within your company. Plus, employees will likely feel more job satisfaction when they feel their well-being is cared about by management – hence, higher retention rates.
ROI – Improved employee recruitment & retention rates
