Corporate Wellness Programs Promote Healthy Living

By now most of us have given up on those New Year’s resolutions to get in shape and eat healthier. But many companies are trying to get their employees to pursue a healthy lifestyle year-round with a corporate wellness program. According to the Wellness Councils of America, more than 81% of American businesses with 50 or more employees have some sort of health promotion program. Two of the most popular offerings are exercise programs and stress management programs.

While more people are taking advantage of exercise programs, our nation’s population is still largely sedentary. Over 60% of adults do not achieve the recommended amount of regular physical activity and 25% of all adults are not active at all (U.S. Surgeon General). In addition, the Center for Disease Control has found that almost 1 in 5 American adults is now considered obese and over half of all Americans are overweight. On the issue of stress management, the World Health Organization describes stress as a “World Wide Epidemic,” with 72% of Americans experiencing frequent stress related physical or mental conditions.

Use some of these products as part of your corporate wellness program or to show your support for a client or employee’s healthy lifestyle.
