“The environments we work in is a factor that significantly impact our overall health. At the core is understanding that we can have a direct influence on the environments we spend time in, we don’t have to wait for a wellness program at work to be developed or be offered a “carrot,” we can begin in our own little cubicle to create an environment that makes well-being the cultural norm,” Sandy Anderson writes for the Austin Daily Herald.

“Since work occupies many hours of our week (whether you work from home or a work site) it’s important to be honest about the environments we spend significant time in and how it impacts our health both physically and mentally. Intentionally choosing to positively influence your environment goes far beyond a New Year’s wellness challenge which we’ve likely abandoned… Resolutions or goals are too difficult to reach or maintain when we don’t adapt the environments/conditions we exist in daily, creating spaces that make healthier choices easier and more accessible.”

“Taking charge of adapting your daily environments, being intentional about small ways you can improve your work space is significant step to increasing the likelihood creating a work culture where wellness is second nature. This bigger picture focus makes worksite wellness programs a bonus but doesn’t look for them to necessarily drive health improvement, the culture of wellness drives those improvements in a much more sustainable manner.”
