💡 Could your wellness programs be missing a critical component? 💡 A huge shoutout to Katherine Maslen for the phenomenal impact she’s making this week with her free 7-day wellbeing challenge, bringing over 1,000 people together to focus on their health, through great information and a supportive community. 🌟 But here’s the kicker – while each of the five elements of wellbeing (career, social, health, community, & financial) is essential, they aren’t independent of each other. They’re deeply interdependent, meaning if one is neglected, like financial wellbeing, it can quietly undermine all the progress we’re making in the others. I'm therefore thrilled to be leading the financial wellbeing session in Katherine’s challenge this Saturday. We’ll shatter the myth that financial success is all about numbers and focus on how our money can support our dreams, not limit them. Employers, there’s so much to learn from this approach. You can inspire your employees with a dynamic money session and then support their progress through your inbuilt community – the workplace. Because it’s easier to take that first step when there’s someone beside you taking it too. If you’re ready to integrate financial wellbeing into your company’s health initiatives, DM me. Let’s explore how to create a truly comprehensive wellness program that supports every aspect of your employees’ lives! 🌟 #EmployeeWellbeing #FinancialWellbeing #WorkplaceWellness #HolisticHealth #EmployeeEngagement #CorporateWellness

At Neighborly®, we believe our greatest asset is our people. Since June is Employee Wellness Month, I want to call out the importance of health and well-being in the workplace. Wellness goes beyond physical health; it includes mental, emotional, and social well-being. At Neighborly, we have a long history of encouraging our associates to get out and enjoy some fresh air. Recess isn’t just for kids—it’s for adults, too! We want to inspire all our associates to use their break time to get outside, walk, and enjoy the sunshine. It's not healthy to go, go, go all day long. Don't stack your day with meetings. Your brain needs a break, and a 20-minute recess is a great way to do that! Personally, I like to use my break time to walk my dog, Scotch. What will you do for your 20-minute recess? Let’s take the month to focus on self-care, support each other, and embrace healthy habits. Share your wellness tips, goals, and success stories—I’d love to hear how you’re prioritizing your well-being. A healthier you means a happier you. Together, let’s make wellness a priority not just this month, but every day. #EmployeeWellness #WorkLifeBalance #BringYourWholeSelf #LaceUp #DogMom

It’s positive to see more employers are taking steps to support employees’ financial wellness. Belden is one company that has implemented programs in recent years to help our employees feel educated on financial topics and confident in managing their financial lives. Wellness is a holistic pursuit. It’s about being physically, emotionally, socially and financially well because all of these things work together to impact each individual’s wellness. This is why Belden’s Be Well program includes programs to care for all these pillars in ways that are customized to the unique needs of each location and each person. We are proud to have held 200 Be Well programs in the last year alone, with employees around the world embracing this program to further their wellness. https://bit.ly/3zXXy7K #Belden #BeWell #FinancialWellness

As August marks National Wellness Month, we are prioritizing our Cannon Building team’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Here are a few simple yet effective ways we are promoting wellness in our offices and on our job sites: · Staying Hydrated: Increasing water intake boosts energy and focus throughout the day. · Taking Daily Walks: A short walk improves mood, creativity, and overall health. · Maintaining Mental Health: Encouraging schedules and routines helps reduce anxiety and stress, leading to better work-life balance. · Sanitizing Regularly: Keeping workstations clean before or after shifts promotes a healthy environment for everyone. · Making the Most of Breaks: Fully utilizing break times to recharge—whether it’s stepping outside for fresh air or simply stepping away from the screen—can significantly reduce stress. #cannonbuilding #cannonculture #workplacewellness #NationalWellnessMonth

At MINDCHECK Health Professionals, we recently gathered for our quarterly staff wellbeing activity. We came together to explore what wellbeing and sustainability at work mean for each of us. We recognise that as individuals, what energises and depletes us is different. We should celebrate our differences and embrace flexibility to ensure our wellbeing at work. What energises you or depletes your energy at work? What can you do to ensure your work life is sustainable and allows for you to maintain your own wellbeing? #WellbeingAtWork #TeamWellness #HealthProfessionalWellbeing

While the medical field is beginning to take more of a whole-person approach to healthcare, it is limited and slow-moving. I applaud these efforts and strides, but when the majority of chronic disease is lifestyle-mediated, we need to bring lifestyle medicine beyond the clinic walls and into the real world. Employees (myself included) find most workplace wellness programs uninspiring. They take a blanket approach with too narrow of a focus cast too broadly across an organization. What if you or your employees instead had access to personalized assistance to deal with the life stressors and silent struggles that are preventing them from living a healthy lifestyle in the first place? Lifestyle is driven by highly individual factors - our relationships, our phase of life, whether or not we are caring for aging parents or children with special needs, our own fears and desires... Healthy living is a byproduct of happiness and a life we feel in control of. Invest in this space for your employees and the ROI will be worth it.

Employers have the opportunity to move the needle on burnout, to help workers struggling with mental-health and well-being challenges, and to create the healthiest environments for employees. As Professional Wellness Month comes to a close, check out these insights to learn ways your organization can improve employee mental health and well-being at scale. https://lnkd.in/eSgM_iWn McKinsey & Company

August 1 marks the beginning of National Wellness Month and we’re here to provide an option for prioritizing self-care, managing stress, and creating healthier habits. Lawyers tend to personify “resilience” and “grit.” These are qualities that often mean great success in running a practice. But they can also lead to stress and a general lack of self-care. One way to prioritize well-being is to establish community care, where the well-being of all members of a community is considered. Community care can be a holistic approach to wellness, with peer support, mentors, wellness committees, flexible work arrangements, employee assistance programs, and workshops and trainings all playing a role in helping lawyers to feel valued and supported. Consider creating change by encouraging community care in your firm. Be well! #Wellness #CommunityCare #TexasBarPractice

It’s hard to believe that open enrollment season is here already. We’ve identified a few key trends that HR teams should consider as they work to deliver benefits that balance organizational goals with employee needs. At LifeSpeak Inc., in addition to the continuing need for tools and content related to mental health, fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness, we’re seeing elevated interest in support for parents and caregivers. A quick look at the Surgeon General’s recent advisory report explains why: 48% of parents say their stress is completely overwhelming most days. Another trending area is support for substance use, wherever people are on the spectrum of substance use. As the sober curious movement grows and more people look to change their relationship with substances, there’s a growing need for resources on this topic.  As these trends in employee care and support change and evolve, our team works to expand and modify the tools and content we deliver. It’s amazing to work with organizations that are committed to providing whole-person support that not only drives workplace wellbeing, but that builds stronger and more resilient individuals and communities.
