Employee Wellness Program
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health found that workers who report they are stressed incur health care costs that are almost 50% higher than other employees.
In today’s world, challenging deadlines, long work hours, and poorly designed work stations can all contribute to employee stress and tension. Employees strive for a suitable balance of home and work life but rarely feel as they can achieve it. This can lead to higher stress related health conditions, disengaged employees and low morale, all of which can impact the company’s bottom line.
How it works:
Classes are designed specifically for the participants of the program to ensure maximum benefits! All levels are welcomed and no prior experience is needed. Each class will include:
- Breathing techniques to calm the mind, reduce tension in the body and increase focus
- Safe, guided movements in and out of yoga postures
- Building strength, increasing flexibility and lifting energy
Getting Started:
Through our initial consultation, we’ll discuss in-depth the expectations and goals for the program. We’ll also discuss a fee schedule that works for the company, whether classes are employer subsidized or employee sponsored.
To select a suitable location, consider conference rooms, lunch rooms or a company gym. Typically, classes will meet once a week for 60-75 minutes for 6-8 week sessions. The best class times are either before or right after normal work hours. Employees will be responsible for bringing their own yoga mat.
