Most organizations don’t understand or invest in the connection between employee wellness and organization culture, growth and productivity.
Don’t imitate them.
Wellness Services for Organizations/Businesses
Your employees spend more than half of their waking day — probably their waking week — in your workplace. In other words, the majority of their time. Their experience there directly correlates to their wellness: physical energy and stamina, mental clarity and emotional resilience. And those wellness attributes — which operate at both an individual and group level — directly influence the health of your business/mission. For these reasons, more organizations are bringing wellness practices and programs into the workplace.
As a former C-level executive and employee with over two decades of fast-paced experience in both private sector and nonprofit organizations, I understand first-hand these connections. I’ve seen both model and poor examples of corporate wellness, and how they impact culture and productivity. And as a trained wellness coach, I know what it takes to generate wellness momentum and produce measurable results.
What are the qualities that distinguish organizations with healthy and impactful wellness programs?
-
A top to bottom commitment to corporate wellness and clarity on the virtues of it for both the business and the individual. A strong vision for wellness.
-
An active understanding of what it takes to precipitate and sustain wellness change, at both individual and corporate levels.
-
A program or set of programs that are part of the culture. As opposed to a quick-fix wellness “project”. And a willingness to experiment.
-
Support from and partnership with a great set of experts — either in-house or outsourced — who can facilitate organization empowerment.
-
SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound) behavioral, biometric and business goals to track, support and advance the wellness initiatives.

How would the workshops or presentations work?
-
Workshops/clinics/presentations can be given to smaller or larger groups. A working session designed to optimize group participation would generally be limited to ten people. Presentations aimed at inspiring or motivating a workforce with less interaction — typically an hour long including Q&A — can be given to much larger groups.
-
Workshops/clinics — depending on objectives, content and frequency — could run from one hour to half a day, and could be either one-off or multi-part, extending over several weeks/months. Multi-part sessions can leverage real-world employee experimentation and practice between sessions.
Example of a four-session employee workshop:
Initial visit to gather organizational/employee information, discuss wellness program objectives and deliver a free wellness presentation.
Session 1 — The Vision (1 hour presentation, larger group): The attributes, friends, enemies, and virtues of organization wellness.
Session 2 — The How (2 hour workshop(s), smaller group(s)): Assessment and the basics of making/sustaining wellness change. Two wellness experiments to try (personalized) before the next session.
Session 3 — Eat, Sleep, Calm (2 hour workshop(s), smaller group(s)): Review of wellness experiments, a modern approach to nutrition, sleep and stress reduction. New wellness experiments to try before the next session.
Session 4 — Move, Sustain (2 hour workshop(s), smaller group(s)): Review of wellness experiments, a modern approach to exercise/movement. Practices to sustain wellness change.
-
The above example describes one of many possibilities. I would expect to work with you and your organization to craft a presentation, workshop or program specific and highly relevant to your organization’s culture, environment and mission.
