Wellness as described by Global Wellness Institute is made up of 6 components: Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, Social and Environment.
Although by no means, is it solely a workplace’s responsibility to establish that you have all of these components but since work plays a huge part in your life, it’s only fair that you have some of these options available to you.
Having a well-balanced life is essential to your personal growth and ensuring that you are happy and healthy. So planning your life to incorporate all of these pivotal pieces is key!
What are some wellness tips do you have that apply to both your personal and professional self?
Here are 3 Easy Tips to Boost Workplace Well-being:
Team Sports/Encouraging Walking & Biking
If you work in an office setting, you may find yourself parked in a chair for the majority of the day. This affects your posture and overall physical health.
Team Sports promote both physical and social wellbeing and it’s also great to have an activity to look forward to every week with your coworkers that don’t involve talking about work.
A few team sports that workplaces coordinate include:
- Baseball
- Soccer
- Basketball
- Bowling
Encourgaging Walking or Biking to work is also a great way to promote physical well-being as well as have other benefits like saving money and not using gas.
Some ideas on how to do encourage walking/biking include:
- Fun posters around the office
- Lunch walking clubs
- Walking pool for people who live nearby
- Bike parking/storage/lock-ups
Healthy Snacks & Food Options
I totally get it, healthy food isn’t always readily available for people! If your workplace sets aside a budget, you can get a good amount of fruits and vegetables that people can munch on for lunch or alternatively be a part of a fruit-a-week program.
If this isn’t an option for you, you can bring in vending machines that offer healthier choices. This way when an employee wants to grab a snack instead of getting a coke and bag of chips, there are healthier alternatives to choose from that have more nutritional value.
Safety Precautions and Equipment
Environment plays a huge part in your wellness. It’s a human need to feel safe. A great way to achieve employee safeness is by getting the right safety precautions in place in your workplace.
It is not a secret that there might be days where there is a huge deadline coming up and you need to stay a little longer to make sure it is perfect and that you have everything ready to submit to a client! When you’re the last one in the office, you want to ensure that you are feeling safe and secure.
You’ll want to also make sure that all the equipment is up to date and being maintained!
