With ever-increasing health insurance costs and the importance of employee health, employers should consider implementing a well-designed wellness program that benefits both employee health and employers' profits. Employees need to feel supported no matter how big or small the budget is. You can provide that support by offering a wellness program, which in turn can improve both the recruitment and retention of employees in your organization. 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.

Incentive programs have proven effective in optimizing everything from employee engagement and productivity to generating valuable sales and improving client retention. The best incentives are provided through personalized incentive programs that motivate, inspire, and engage all members of your organization. They should be issued on an ongoing basis with a specific set of indicators for improving employee performance. Incentive programs can increase employee productivity by up to 44% and motivate up to 66% of employees to stay with their company.

For many companies, the holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year. Many CEOs and managers are anxious to close deals fast and make plans for the new year. Unfortunately, showing employees or customers, they are appreciated during the holidays sometimes falls short.

Employee recognition programs, once considered a “nice” but non-essential component of human resources, have changed dramatically over the last several years. This shift parallels a growing understanding of the importance of retaining top-performing employees and re-engineering employee recognition as a core business function.

As much as we want to believe our employees’ energy levels and engagement shoot back up to 100 percent after the holidays each new year, the truth is motivation is not automatic. Employees still need to be motivated to be at their most productive, and it falls on you to get them inspired for the new year and every day to follow. Although there are plenty of managers out there who believe motivation requires hand-holding or flashy gestures, there are many ways to motivate your employees without taking too much of your time and theirs. Here are a few simple examples of employee incentives that can keep your team focused and motivated in the new year and beyond.

The holidays are upon us! While this is an exciting time for businesses and employees, it is also a time where keeping your team motivated can be challenging. With the stress of holiday shopping, events, end of year goals, and more, it can be challenging to keep productivity and morale up. That is where a holiday incentive program comes in.

This year has been nothing short of challenging for people all over the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has turned our lives upside down, and many companies have had to make significant adjustments to their business models. The holiday season is a big time for giving back. It is not only necessary for individuals to give back but also for businesses and organizations. That is why finding a way to give back with, to, and for your employees is more important than ever this year.

You’ve made the sale. The funds are in the bank account, and your customer is walking away with their product or service that you’ve sold to them. Now what? Unless what you’re selling is intended for a one-time sale – which only a handful of businesses can claim to have – you can’t let this customer walk away forever.

It’s no secret that when you feel better, you perform better. So, why not make it the same for your employees? Wellness programs in the workplace can improve your bottom line and the overall atmosphere in the office.
