Description

Wellness can be defined as a process wherein an employee is well aware of what healthy choices in life are all about and the assimilation of learning to make such healthy choices. It broadly means ensuring that the body is maintained in a good condition so that life runs smoothly and people live for a longer time. Companies have now woken up to this concept and the number of companies embracing wellness programs is on the rise globally thereby indicating a bandwagon effect. It must however be noted that there is no one or right way to ensure wellness. Companies have a wide range of programs and the bouquets may differ from organisation to organisation. It must also be kept in mind that over enthusiasm to thrust activities on employees might actually lead to more stress and this would defeat the very purpose of the wellness initiative. Wellness initiative could include emotional wellness, financial wellness, mental or psychological wellness, spiritual wellness, physical wellness, social wellness, and so on.
