Employee Health Promotion Initiatives: The Grand Slam
Employee Health Promotion Initiatives are as close to a grand slam proposition as you’ll find, according to most researchers and Employee Health Promotion experts.
But if you have skeptics in your organization who are questioning the time and expense of beginning an Employee Health Promotion Program, you may be wary too. Aren’t staff member Health Promotion Programs subject to the adage “There’s no such thing as a free lunch”?
Employee Health Promotion Initiatives Don’t Have To Be Expensive
Fortunately, staff member Health Promotion Programs don’t require a big investment. Like any other corporate project, mismanagement and “death by committee” can inflate the cost of staff member Health Promotion Programs, but it’s hard to spend too much time and money on them. After all, staff member Health Promotion Programs are mostly informational in nature. Flyers, e-mails, maps, and Employee Health Promotion Health and Wellness Fairs can only cost so much. There’s no expensive, specialized Employee Health Promotion Program machinery.
Employee Health Promotion statistics on successful programs are particularly persuasive. Unlike many cost-saving measures, staff member Health Promotion Programs actually add to staff member satisfaction – but they also reduce Medical Insurance premiums and staff member absenteeism.
What are some common staff member Health Promotion Programs?
Employee Health Promotion Initiatives run the gamut, depending on your workplace demographic, from exercise for health patients to nutritional initiatives that encourage workers to replace unhealthy snack foods with healthy fare like dried fruit and shelled nuts.
Here are some examples of staff member Health Promotion Programs:
ergonomic safety
cardiovascular disease education and testing
staff member safety
health risk assessments
walking wellness programs
drug testing
