Significance of corporate Wellness initiatives
The very definition of wellness is “the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of just surviving, you’re thriving” . When practices with such a goal of wellness are introduced and practiced in an organization, it changes the very culture of the place. Corporate wellness programs, in today’s context, are much needed given the stressful work environment and pressures the employees face.
Why should organisations consider employee Wellness?
The key phrase in the above-mentioned definition of wellness is the “act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis” implying that whatever one decides to implement in their workspace must be an adaptable, healthy, daily activity. These programs typically encompass a variety of activities, resources, and incentives designed to support employees in maintaining or improving their physical, mental, and emotional health. Keeping this in mind, the following suggestions are appropriate for wellness programs in an organisation:

A rejuvenating experience! Loved the self-assessment and pranayama session. Everything was explained wonderfully. The relaxation exercises were wonderful. The session was helpful and relieving, though we wished it was a bit longer. Mallika is a great presenter.

An innovative session on nutrition! The nutrition game activity was fun and interactive. Basic information about daily food and cooking methods was intriguing. Loved the nutrition quiz.
