We all have different learning styles and preferences; one person may enjoy a quick 30-minute lunch webinar that is high-value and time effective while another person may appreciate on-site workshops.\u00a0 Offering live lectures, virtual classes, print pieces, hands-on activities and more allows everyone to find something they\u2019ll enjoy.\u00a0 You can often use one message and disseminate it through various platforms for consistent and effective programming.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Get people engaged with one another. Accountability and inspiration will fuel your teams to do more!\u00a0 Incorporating fun challenges into your wellness program will feed this engagement.\u00a0 Offer team and individual incentives to support each in achieving the goal.\u00a0 Challenges can focus on building any healthy habit and can include ideas such as daily movement, healthy eating, sleep and hydration.\u00a0 While these may seem basic principles, employees are consistently falling short in these areas and feeling the effects through fatigue, headaches, joint pain and onset of disease.\u00a0 Healthy habits create healthy people.\u00a0 Lead the way for your teams and be engaged!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f7f7f4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Section&#8221;][et_pb_row make_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_width_px=&#8221;680px&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color_2=&#8221;#efefe9&#8243; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_2=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/wellness.jpg&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#efefe9&#8243; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/well-being-1.jpg&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;24&#8243; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#818178&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;20%|10%||10%&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;|10%||10%&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The worksite wellness program you put in place will need to address the key issues your employees are facing.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; text_font=&#8221;PT Sans|on|||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;12&#8243; text_text_color=&#8221;#888888&#8243; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;20px||20%|&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;20px|||&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA GAFFNEY<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Section&#8221;][et_pb_row use_custom_width=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_width_px=&#8221;1200px&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||0px|&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px|||&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_2=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_3=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_4=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#363636&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;60px||0px|&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;40px||0px|&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Instead of creating an environment of short-term fixes, be sure that your program offers consistency. As I share with clients, it\u2019s not what you do for 7 days or 30 days during some diet or healthy challenge, it\u2019s what you do EVERY day that matters.\u00a0 Consistency is necessary for long-term success; your teams will need to hear messages repeatedly, and be offered opportunities to implement new ideas and strategies for healthy change to take place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Building a program that is congruent with your culture is important. The worksite wellness program you put in place will need to address the key issues your employees are facing.\u00a0 Provide surveys, assess the age range of your corporate team and explore overall generational needs before deciding on the program that is best for your organization!\u00a0 The more you explore the needs of your people, the better the program you can create and implement!\u00a0 If the average age of employees is 32 in one organization, the program will be addressing different needs than if the average age were 50.\u00a0 A 30-something\u2019s lifestyle will be drastically different than that of a 50-year old.\u00a0 Their daily habits will vary; everything from food intake, disease awareness and even their sleep patterns will be different.\u00a0 How are you assessing these needs, and furthermore making sure your worksite wellness offerings are addressing them?\u00a0 \u00a0Take time to assess and build the right program for your organization, it will pay off in the long run!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As you build and enhance your worksite wellness program always answer these four questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What do you want your team to get out of the program?<\/li>\n<li>How can you best keep them engaged and excited about the gift you\u2019re providing?<\/li>\n<li>Why is it important to you as the leader of your team to put time, effort and money into developing a program?<\/li>\n<li>What are the perceived challenges you\u2019ll face?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These four questions will help you build and maintain a strong wellness program that keeps your employees top of mind, supports your overall mission and allows you to foresee challenges along the way.\u00a0 When working from this mindset, you\u2019ll be able to support your employees in taking steps to increase their health and happiness while excelling in their career.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Section&#8221;][et_pb_row use_custom_width=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_width_px=&#8221;780px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|73.90625px|0px&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_text text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;36&#8243; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;26&#8243; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#363636&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||70px|&#8221;] Want new articles before they get published?
