The Effect of Economic Woes and Wellness in the Workplace

Turning on the television and watching the news at the end of the

workday used to be a way to catch up on what happened while

workers were in the office. These days, however, with the focus

of much of the news being on the current economic crisis, workers

are having more trouble separating themselves from what they are

hearing. As a result, there is an increasing amount of tension in

the workplace.

In addition to economic woes hitting your workers, however, you

are going to find that the tightening of the economy , coupled

with rising costs associated with health care and cost of living,

has an impact on your business. While you are going to want to be

sure that you are doing what you can to reduce costs in the

workplace, it is essential that you are able to provide your

employees with the benefits that they expect and with the support

that they need to ride out the economic crisis.

As a result, if you are looking for ways in which you will be

able to reduce costs to your business, you are going to need to

think about your staff members and then, rather than simply

looking at health care programs, you might want to consider

implementing wellness programs. With wellness programs there are

a number of benefits. Here are the two most significant:

1. During an economic crisis and other times of high stress,

wellness programs in the workplace serve to reduce tension for

your employees. With yoga or other fitness classes available for

example, you will find that you are able to give your staff

members an outlet and provide them with a healthier lifestyle.

2. During an economic crisis, and particularly when health care

costs are high, you will find that wellness programs in the

workplace serve to cut down on the expenses of health care. After

all, wellness programs focus not only on reducing stress, but

also on your staff members' overall health. This attention to

prevention will help to reduce the costs associated with health

care over the long term.

When you offer wellness programs in the workplace, you will find

that your staff members are in a better position to cope with

their stress. When your employees are less stressed out, they are

going to be more productive at the office and there will be a

reduction in the amount of time that your staff call out sick or

otherwise need time off.

By focusing on the health and well-being of your staff members,

particularly during times of high stress and the current economic

crisis, you are going to find that you are in a better position

to keep your business growing and moving forward. By helping your

staff to take care of themselves, they will be able to contribute

more to the business and everyone involved will be in a better

position to get through the economic crisis. Economic woes can

have a dramatic impact on morale, but so can those efforts that

will enable your staff to reduce their stress.
