Building A Workplace Wellness Tool Kit: Four Initiatives To Consider
A healthy and productive workforce plays an important role in the success of any organization. With many employees experiencing workplace stress, burnout and the effects of prolonged sitting, businesses are exploring practical ways to support both physical and mental well-being.
In this Forbes Business Council article, Lumaflex CEO John Graham Harper highlights four initiatives that employers can consider when developing a workplace wellness toolkit.
1. Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy uses red and near-infrared light and is increasingly being explored as a complementary workplace wellness option. Organizations considering RLT should provide suitable facilities, clear information and proper instructions so employees understand how the devices should be used.
2. Breathwork
Guided breathing exercises can give employees an accessible way to pause, relax and refocus during a demanding workday. Businesses may introduce optional breathwork sessions or work with qualified instructors to guide employees through appropriate techniques.
3. Movement
Employees who spend long periods sitting may benefit from more opportunities to move throughout the day. Movement breaks, walking sessions, fitness classes and access to exercise facilities are some of the ways employers can encourage greater activity.
4. Flexible Work Schedules
Flexible hours and remote-working options can help employees manage their professional and personal responsibilities more effectively. Where operationally practical, greater flexibility may contribute to a healthier work-life balance.
A workplace wellness toolkit does not need to rely on a single initiative. Employers can combine different options according to the needs, preferences and working conditions of their teams.
