5 Reasons Workplace Wellness is Important
Self-awareness is essential to success
It’s no secret that Americans are starting to become more health conscious. But individuals in the workplace environment who have to deal with higher stress factors, longer work hours and constant multitasking are finding it difficult to follow through on their wellness goals. Let’s be real, how many times have you made a run to the vending machine only to find grease and sugar as your options? It’s extremely beneficial and makes for a more productive employee to have an onsite wellness program with healthy snack and lunch options provided, because a majority of their time is spent at the work place.
Chronic diseases are PREVENTABLE
Illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, stroke and obesity, make up 75 percent of healthcare costs according to the CDC. By promoting a healthier lifestyle within your company, you can help stop these diseases in their tracks. Yes, old habits die hard, and some employees will be hesitant to participate. But when a person is able to commit mentally, emotionally and socially and on a conscience level, progress is inevitable! We are living in a conscious age, and at SmartBox Company we’d like to help assist people to make smarter decisions.
Healthcare is not cheap
Healthcare costs have continued to rise, and if you are a smaller sized business the burden can be enough to drive you out of the game. The only option some business owners have is to pass the burden back to their employees, but a healthier individual can actually help their own bottom line. Some employers are now actually lowering employee’s contributions with rebates if they do participate in a wellness program. That’s something we can get behind!
It can be a fun and exciting challenge
Your wellness program does not need to be boring. In fact, a dynamic program that consistently evolves over time will drive the most success. Challenge your program to stay on the latest trends, because human beings, and especially your millennial employees, need challenge and stimulation in different ways when it comes to their fitness and wellbeing. And that’s where SmartBox comes in.

It needs support, and leadership and commitment from a vendor or multiple vendors.
