Take Health and Wellness Programming to the Next Level With Cooleaf and Les Mills

As a result of the 2020 Pandemic, organizations have been approaching an employee’s mind, body, and wellbeing in all new ways to keep their teams happy, healthy, and engaged.

With many organizations working remote and employee burnout high, supporting an employees' wellness and mental health has increasingly become a priority for many organizations.

The work environment is changing, and as more companies invest into their people and company culture with well-being programs, organizations will be sure to see higher employee retention.

Read on to learn more about Cooleaf's new wellness program and how to offer a holistic wellness program to support employee health.

Why a Workplace Wellness Program Is Important

Health and wellness programming has a myriad of benefits from increasing employee productivity, improving morale, reducing overall stress, and even reducing healthcare costs.

Employee wellness programs are nothing new to employee engagement, but with many teams now hybrid or remote, your organization's wellness program is an opportunity to connect and engage employees no matter where they might be.

We've seen it first hand at Cooleaf too. With every organization we work with, employee participation and engagement ranks higher for health and wellness activities like meditation weeks, water drinking challenges, or step challenges.

Ideas for a corporate wellness program for your team?

Organizations are stepping up. Since 2020, Google has been embracing "reset" days and introduced a resilience series to help employees facing today's ever-changing climate. Many companies are additionally offering wellness incentives like memberships to mental wellness apps like Headspace or cycling classes through Peloton.

Encouraging wellness screenings and healthy behaviors provides an additional employee need while benefiting the team overall.
