The One Thing Your Business Must Do to Survive the Coming Times


The one thing your business must do to survive the coming times?  

Increase your wellness budget.

Employee engagement is low.  Stress is epidemic.  Absenteeism, turnover, and health care costs are killing your company.  So what can you do?  Nurture healthier employees. 

Increase your wellness budget and shake things up.  Re-think wellness.  If you haven't noticed, what you're doing isn't working.  External incentives like cash bonuses work temporarily, but do they sustain change?  Do they help build a healthy, engaged workforce?  No.  Wellness has changed.  You have to think beyond weight loss initiatives and smoking cessation. 

Better health begins with the individual and happens from the inside out.  The hot trends in wellness are meditation and mindfulness.  Why?  Because these practices breed ownership.  They involve inside work, introspection, brain re-training, internal balance and personal empowerment.  In the workplace, this translates to more mental clarity, better productivity, conflict resolution, increased self awareness, creativity, compassion, elevated emotional intelligence, and innovation.

Employees focused on their own mental, emotional and physical well being will make better choices for their own health, create work-life balance, and thrive professionally.  

Boom!  A bottom line game changer.
