Making Wellness Work: Creating A Comprehensive Wellness Program

Two-thirds of Canadian employees surveyed agreed that in their organization they were expected to leave their personal problems at the door.
Workplace health promotion should not be construed as a means of making employers responsible for their employees' well-being. Rather the focus should be on creating an environment at work that is conducive to improving health behaviours and fostering well-being.
HAVE YOU EVER...
There is a misconception that if you take good care of your employees your business won't be as successful. Helping employees handle stress is a smart business decision and healthy employees positively impact your bottom line.
This interactive workplace wellness workshop is designed for team leaders to review the structures and supports within your workplace and to develop strategies that will create a comprehensive wellness program based on the S-O-S PrincipleTM.
OBJECTIVES
- Utilize the critical components of a comprehensive workplace wellness program to promote the health and wellness of your employees and the success of your organization
- Develop appropriate stress management strategies to decrease the causes of stress and the stress symptoms within your workplace by drawing on the S-O-S PrincipleTM and Seven Spokes To Organizational WellnessTM
- Ensure that you implement the right workplace wellness strategies for your organization as opposed to getting caught in the flavour-of-the-day trap
How Healthy Is My Business?
Important questions from the Mental Health campaign from the Canadian Mental Health Association:
The economic health of any business relies upon the health of its employees. But how can you tell if your staff has work-life balance?
- Do managers receive training about how to support their staff to achieve work-life balance?
- Are your employees familiar with the policies and programs available to help with work-life balance?
- Does your organization provide flexible hours to help employees balance their responsibilities at work and at home?
- Do your managers encourage staff to stay home with sick children or elderly relatives when necessary?
- Does your organization have a method to track employees' satisfaction with their work-life balance?
If the answer to most or all of these questions is "no", it's time to think about investing in your business' success.

“…Beverly’s presentation was excellent – the topic was extremely relevant and the presentation was polished and professional. She connected with the audience and based on the very positive feedback from the attendees re this session, motivated them to reevaluate how they currently handle multiple demands in an ever-changing environment and to consider new strategies for managing both their own stress and that of the employees reporting to them. I would certainly consider hiring Beverly again and would not hesitate to recommend her to others…”
