You may recall that back in early April we celebrated National Employee Benefits Day. At that time, the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans “encouraged employers to expand their definition of wellness by looking to improve their employees’ overall health, and we challenged each of you to assess your overall well-being with a quick quiz.”
More than 1,500 people took the poll, and now the IFEBP reports on the results: “When asked to rated the overall satisfaction of your life from one to 10, 76% rate your life a seven or higher… 89% have a go-to stress reliever that you use to decompress.”
However, the report notes: “An area to work on? Taking time for mind/body practices such as yoga and meditation that can reduce stress and improve your cognitive function and memory… Employers can help their employees improve their overall health by offering a wide variety of wellness programs such as on-site yoga programs, encouraging vacation time, sponsoring community charity drives or financial literacy education. Find resources to help you kickoff a Wellness 2.0 program at your organization.”
