At times Corporate Wellness Programs have been instituted as public relations vehicles intended to enhance the corporate image with little concern for improvements in employee health. Companies who are truly committed to enhancing employee health and wellness, are companies who have worked to include Corporate Wellness Programs into the business’s mission statement. With this commitment, policies and procedures can be written to address short and long term goals of increased employee health, productivity, and morale. These policies and procedures are critical to the establishment of supportive organizational cultures conducive to employee health and wellness.
• Active employee involvement in Corporate Wellness Program committees and business decision making
• Availability of flextime work schedules
• No tobacco use policy
• Drug use policy and screening
• Motor vehicle seat restraints and the use of other protective/safety equipment
• Sexual harassment policy
• Family leave programs
• Consistent and frequent awards and recognition of employee work efforts
