Why Wellness Week?

Studies continue to provide evidence that workplace wellness should not be viewed as a expense but a savings. In addition to high returns, the link to an improved corporate report card and increased employee performance provides increased evidence that tomorrow’s market share will be owned by healthy, high-performance work teams. A recent study conducted by Buck’s Global Survey Resources on Workplace Wellness Strategies indicated that wellness continues to grow in the workplace and specifically, on-site workplace activities such as employee health fairs are rapidly growing.

Deciding to conduct an annual wellness week is a powerful opportunity to speak a message to your most valuable resource, your people.

The US official wellness week is in the first week of April and for Canada it’s a full month from Sept 29-Oct 26. Aligning your wellness week dates into to these key dates allows your organization to capitalize on growing promotion budgets funded by governments and other non-profits.
