Corporate Wellness Programs 

I have supported companies through corporate wellness programs since 2010, both virtually and in person in Los Angeles and New York City. I’ve partnered with Fortune 500 Companies including Mattel, Vice Media,  Guthy-Renker,Westfield, Air New Zealand, T-Mobile, Digitas, Liquidnet and Publicis Modem.

Corporate Wellness Benefits

Employees are a company’s greatest asset. Improving and maintaining their health and wellness with comprehensive and custom health solutions is vital, as healthier people produce stronger results, and are ultimately more engaged and effective in the workplace.

Because of the constantly connected, high-stress modern corporate workplace, today’s professionals are in need of health and wellness more than ever before. A happier, healthier, more balanced employee yields more productivity, increased focus, and enhanced creativity that is invaluable in a competitive marketplace.

According to a recent study on work site health programs, corporations realized $3-6 in savings for every $1 invested in wellness programs. The same study showed more than a 25% average reduction in health-care costs for well-designed programs. (American Journal of Health Promotion)

The benefits of offering and promoting corporate employee health & wellness programs in the workplace:

• Decreased Costs *
• Reduced Absenteeism
• Increased Productivity
• Increased Job and Employee Satisfaction
• Improved Employee Retention
• Enhanced Office Community

*According the Harvard Business Review, every dollar invested in employee wellness programs can yield up to $6 in health care savings. That goes right to your company’s bottom line!

CORPORATE WELLNESS PROGRAMS & CLASSES

As your Corporate Wellness Expert, I partner with your HR team to bring nutrition and wellness knowledge into your workplace, as a personal health coach to you and your employees.

I offer On-Site Corporate Wellness Solutions to Promote Employee Wellness & Lower Healthcare Costs, which includes the following:

Health & Wellness Lunch & Learn

Providing education to employees specifically on how to improve eating habits, reduce stress, and increase healthy lifestyle activities such as cooking and exercise. These workshops will be in person or via webinar. Example workshop topic and descriptions below. Workshops will be customized for office and employee’s needs and employees receive handouts with information and healthy recipes. Cooking classes are also available and can be customized.

Sample Workshop Descriptions:

Your Super Energy Prescription

• Feeling low on energy no matter how many cups of coffee you drink or how many hours of sleep you get at night? Learn how simple changes to your diet and lifestyle can help instantly boost your mood and energy.

How To Kick Your Sugar Addiction

• The average American consumes about 150 pounds of sugar a year, more than any other country in the world. Sugar in some form is found in almost everything and causes those “roller coaster” mood swings, irritation, exhaustion, headaches, intense cravings, and several other detrimental effects. Learn how to kick your sugar addiction and increase your energy levels, focus and concentration.

Healthy Eating At Work

• There is so much misinformation out there on what we should be eating and what is healthy that it can be overwhelming trying to decide what is best for you. I will share what healthy eating really looks like, debunk some of the myths and share the best ways to add healthy living into your work day. We’ll also incorporate some gentle movement and breathing exercises to help you stay more alert and focused during the day.

Nutrition Days for Employees

Corporate Employee Wellness Coaching Days provide employees working long hours sitting at their desks with the opportunity to experience a 25 minute one-on-one health & wellness consultation.

She will give personalized nutrition and wellness advice for each employee. My availability will be from 9am to 5pm, meeting with as many employees as time allows on a first come, first served basis. This can also be done in person or with remote or satellite offices.

Yoga at Work

The ease and convenience in bringing yoga classes onsite gives employees the opportunity and encouragement they need to lead healthy, active lifestyles. The yoga classes are customized to employee’s needs and levels. The stretch and flow format helps reduce lower back, shoulder and wrist pain from sitting at a desk and the breathing techniques helps to minimize the feelings of stress in the body. I also teach chair yoga, which can be scheduled during lunch or after work.

Meditation Sessions

Taking time during the day to disconnect is one of the most beneficial acts that an employee can do to improve energy, focus and productivity at work. I will conduct 15 minute guided meditation sessions in the span of two hours. I will incorporate deep breathing exercises and meditations that help relax the body and mind so they can refocus once they are back at their desk.

Healthy Kitchen and Vending Machine Makeover

I will assess the vending machines and restaurant options in and around the company and provide a list of healthy snack foods that can be provided to employees to keep energy levels and productivity high. I can also take care of ordering and reordering of food.

Company Challenges

This is a chance for employees to have fun while creating healthier habits. I create a personalized challenge based on the exact needs of the employees. Challenges can be as short as a week or as long as four weeks based on the reward system and interests of everyone involved.

Monthly Wellness Groups

This is a monthly meeting where everyone can come together and receive additional support from me and other coworkers. I have found that these meetings are really helpful with weight loss, creating a healthier relationship to food and many coworkers find a work buddy to take walks with and help support them on their journey.

Management Training

Studies have shown that when top management and managers understand the benefits of wellness at work they are more apt to encourage their employees to attend wellness sessions, utilize vacation days and in return employees become more confident, take less sick days and collaborate and share ideas more often at work. The training includes the four pillars of health and what action steps are the most beneficial in sharing and how to encourage employees to become more active and healthy.

MEET YOUR CORPORATE WELLNESS EXPERT

I previously worked in digital advertising and print journalism in New York City before pursuing a career in nutrition and wellness. When I was in the corporate world in New York City, I learned how bringing healthy food to work helped maintain my energy levels during the day, and that taking a lunch break to work out could make or break my day. The more I paid attention to my own well-being and health, the better I felt at work and my productivity improved.

Now, as a Certified Holistic Health Coach and Corporate Wellness Expert, my mission is to make wellness an essential and important part of the workplace. With my support, employees have better energy levels, reduced stress levels, and learn how to take care of themselves during a busy work day resulting in fewer sick days and more productivity.
