In an article published by TechRepublic, the impacts of remote work and connections to employee wellness are explored. In a world where health is the public’s number one priority, workplaces are now, more than ever, looking to curate effective programs to cater to employees’ physical and emotional needs.
We’re now reaching the tail-end of self-quarantining. Businesses are soon to be reopening, and employees are soon to be attempting to return to a normal life. So, where do businesses go from here? How can workplaces still reinforce the importance of health and safety in the midst of a global pandemic?
This article explores the impact that self-quarantining has had on both physical and mental health. “Now, more than ever, anxiety is running really high. People are very stressed-out”. It’s true— from anxieties about health to anxieties about returning to a normal life after being stripped of physical and social interaction, we’re all struggling to figure out the next step. We even read about a recent stat in which employees are working three hours more than average during this time, and that it is extremely important for employees to have an outlet to focus on their well-being. This is where corporate wellness programs will thrive.
With TechRepublic focusing on wellness programs from home, companies are going to begin making the shift from focusing on at-home health to focusing on incorporating wellness back into the office space. “Given today’s work from home order, your corporate wellness program will likely look entirely different than it did before.” It is a fact. Public health and safety will look entirely different in a post-pandemic world. While we’re still, as a society, figuring out how to cope with a sudden health emergency, the pressure is on for companies to have top-of-the-line wellness programs upon returning to the workplace.
“The most effective programs now are well-rounded and include physical, mental health, meditation, kids exercises, and eating well programs.” How can companies provide versatile wellness programs to employees returning to the workplace? Health fairs are the number one most attended employee wellness programs. Health fairs allow employees to speak directly with health professions in their community — something that is crucial in this time of public uncertainty. Employees will have access to doctors, nurses, trainers, dietitians, and plenty more. Health fair planning companies allow corporations to craft their own line-up of health professionals based on the direct needs of their employees.
Employees are in desperate need of social interaction after this extended period of isolation. This article states corporate wellness programs used to just be a perk. However, they are now making a considerable difference in helping teams become more of a community. There is no better way for a company to regain the community of the workplace while promoting health and safety than hosting a health fair. Health fairs provide that social interaction between colleagues, as well as wellness professionals, by allowing employees to walk around with others and choose professionals to speak to in order to gain information regarding their health.
With corporations making the shift back to normalcy, all eyes are on the higher-ups to provide wellness programs to employees. Health fairs should be a top priority in these programs, as they are perfect for regaining that community-like feeling in the workplace, as well as providing employees direct access to health professionals.
