Wellness Wednesday: Wellness at Faith Technologies
Via Corporate Wellness Magazine, a
profile of one company's wellness program designed to improve employees' health. Faith Technologies, an electrical contractor, designated
some employees as "wellness chargers" to promote wellness programs in
the different locations where the company has a presence.
Main
points:
- Part of the wellness charger’s role "is to design a month-long program tailored to that location’s risks discovered by the health risk assessment (HRA)."
- "Most employees at Faith Technologies first engage with the wellness program by taking an annual HRA...to see where each employee is terms of their health."
- "Completing the HRA is the first step to receiving a premium discount."
In
addition to other points in the article, the wellness team wants to add
programs for the employees. Dare to dream that Nordic walking could become
another way employees improve their health because Nordic walking is an
efficient way to achieve the goals of a wellness program. Take a look below:
