Creating a robust wellness program that focuses on all aspects of wellbeing can have a positive impact on an organization's corporate image, energy consumption, and productivity. The World Health Organization defines well-being not only as the absence of any disease or health problems, but also as the complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being. The eight dimensions of wellness include: emotional, physical, intellectual, financial, spiritual, occupational, social, and environmental. Minna B. Consulting, a mental health consulting practice, argues that each dimension of well-being serves as a useful benchmark for setting effective boundaries, which in turn can protect our mental health for challenging years like 2020. Taking action to grow and understand each dimension can set employees on the path to overall well-being and happiness.

Prioritizing employees’ well-being cuts health care costs, increases engagement, and reduces absenteeism. A wellness program that focuses on what employees most need and want takes a more proactive and informed approach to healthy living. Here is why you need a wellness program and how to get started.

Every small business relies upon its employees to keep the business alive. Sometimes, business owners don’t realize the degree of stress this places on the men and women whom they employ — and how feeling stressed leads to less-than-optimum work performance.
