to engage leadership in wellness

TACTICS5

WHEN CORPORATE WELLNESS WORKS WELL, IT STARTS FROM THE TOP-DOWN.

Leadership buy-in of corporate wellness programming sets the tone for employees—communicating that it’s OK to:

> Take part in a weight loss challenge with co-workers

> Fit in a workout during the workday> Take advantage of healthy food options

HERE ARE 5 CREATIVE APPROACHES WE USE AT CLIENT SITES TO ENGAGE LEADERSHIP IN HEALTH AND WELLNESS.

Screen time stories1Senior leaders at this high-tech company describe what being healthy means to them during video interviews. The interviews are shown on video monitors throughout the corporate campus as well as to remote employees. Senior executives also highlight the company’s wellness services, including its corporate �tness centers, health coaching and more.

Beat the boss2Executives at this health plan lead weekly walks with employees to support Walk This Way®, a walking program that encourages employees to walk up 10,000 steps each day. Participants track their total steps daily and those that “beat the boss” for the week are entered into a raffle to win a prize.

Get dunked3Leaders at this leading �nancial services company receive special recognition during “Fitness Field Day,” where employees compete in �tness challenges. Senior managers serve as “judges” for the �tness events and are also invited to get dunked in a dunk tank.

Energy in and out4HealthFitness staff move beyond the four walls of the corporate �tness center, requesting that managers invite them to meetings to lead energy breaks with employees. In return for the on-site energy breaks, the managers receive a personal training session.

Take a tour5Senior executives at this manufacturing company serve as wellness tour guides for their departments, leading employees through tours of the company’s new corporate �tness facility. Not only does this get the word out about the facility, employees learn about additional wellness resources including stress relief, sleep tips and more.
