...HR 599 | WELLNESS BENEFITS | They’re a lifesaver in more ways than one… | Og512 2/24/2010 | Employees are faced with obstacles and stressors on a daily basis both professionally and personally. Ideally, one would like to keep the two separated. Unfortunately, that rarely happens. Personal problems lead to undue to stress in the workplace and vice versa. This conflict causes a significant problem for employees and employers. Employees tend to develops mental and/or physical illnesses and as a result, employers are paying employees who cannot operate at full capacity.

Depending on the setting, a wellness health plan may also address spiritual and vocational well-being.

...Sydney and Melbourne, helping them to become more productive, while lowering their overall costs with innovative wellness programs and strategies. Bounce Fitness is based on two simple facts: 1. Healthy employees are more productive than chronically ill employees. 2. It costs less to prevent injuries or illnesses than to treat them after they occur. Traditional endeavours to corporate health care are quite reactive. Corporations wait until after staff has been ill or injured, and then pay for the necessary treatments. The Bounce Fitness approach, emphasises prevention and good health promotion, and is much more proactive. At Bounce Fitness, we tie worker productivity directly to the health care issue. We believe that traditional approaches to the current health care crisis are misdirected. Bounce Fitness contends that by helping employees change their behaviour patterns and choose healthier lifestyles, the health care costs to corporations will be considerably reduced through increased staff productivity, reduced absenteeism and turnover, reduced worker’s compensation claims and a healthier, motivated staff. Current economic and demographic changes will make health care issues worse. The environmental factors and the local competitive situation is a clear message to Bounce Fitness. The time is right for a Bounce Fitness initiative. Situation Analysis Bounce Fitness began in 2001 in Cairns Queensland. The business model has been well received and resulted in...

...there are easily identifiable periods of growth; yet the older one gets the more indiscernible relative changes become. This paper will discuss late adulthood and death, placing emphasis on the following: how individuals can promote health and wellness into late adulthood and mitigate the negative effects of aging, an analysis of ageism and stereotypes associated with late adulthood, an exploration of different views of death and dying at different points in human development, and an examination of the attitudes of various cultures towards death and dying. Getting older does not have to mean that one gets sicker. Of course as we age our reflexes slow and the passage of time may appear more noticeably on one’s face. Yes we do get older, all of us; it is called senescence. Senescence is the process of aging and all humans go through it. But as previously stated one does not need to get sicker just because they get older. Some of the ways to promote wellness in an older adult include but are not limited to the following: exercise and dieting, eliminating unhealthy habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and establishing healthy personal relationships. Older adults should be proactive in the pursuit of health and wellness, according to K.S. Berger (2008) some of the health factors that accompany aging are heart disease, diabetes and dementia. All of these health factors can be anticipated and to some point, prevented. As the body ages it is more susceptible to...

...Nor do we assume or claim that the organisation is necessarily the most influential institution in identity-defining and managing processes. Nonetheless, we concur with a number of other commentators who argue that identity regulation is a significant, neglected and increasingly important modality of organisational control, especially perhaps in larger corporations. It is assumed that control is achieved by designing and applying appropriate structures, procedures, measures and targets; and, relatedly, that resistance to these mechanisms is symptomatic of ‘poor design’ or ‘poor management’ that can be rectified by restructuring and/or training or staff replacement. Those working in interpretive and critical traditions of organizational analysis, in contrast, have paid attention to the negotiated and problematical status of allegedly shared meanings, values, beliefs, ideas and symbols as targets of, as well as productive elements within, normative organizational control...

...Jump into a New You: Employer Funded Wellness Programs * Problem The obesity epidemic is one of the country’s most serious health problems. Adult obesity rates have doubled since 1980, while childhood obesity rates have tripled. Rising obesity rates have significant health consequences, contributing to diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and other serious diseased. These conditions put a major strain on the health care system and on employers as well. According to an article regarding obesity in America, a report from The trust for America’s health, Texas now has the 11th highest obesity rate in the nation (“Better Policies” par.2). Obesity rates are above 35 percent for the first time ever. As obesity rises to an all-time high in the United States, more and more employees are implementing workplace wellness programs. These programs range from simply offering information to workers, to subsidized healthy lunches, fitness education, and a company gym. I would like to propose that a gym membership be provided to all 32 employees of this company, in hopes that it will bring you lowered expenses in return in the form of better performing workers, lower absenteeism, and overall lower health care costs. Employees are the most valuable assets to any company. Here is why workplace wellness programs should matter to you. * Problem Analysis Obesity in America has been an ongoing, and widely publicized issue for years. According to the Surgeon General, nearly two out...

...Training Sales Program for Wellbridge Clubs Sales Staff Dawnita Blackmon-Mosely Tiaunna Connelly Elizabeth Davis Jesus Elias Jaimi Faux Michael Morris Rodney Ulibarri Webster University Abstract The purpose of this project was to develop a training program for Wellbridge Clubs that focused on teaching sales staff to sell personal training (PT) packages to members, in order to increase Wellbridge sales. The training agenda was designed based on Silberman’s (2006) Active Training, in order to engage the participants in their learning process. The use of immediate learning exercises is intended to draw the participants into the process of guided note taking during the brain-friendly lectures. Through headlines and graphical associations, organized information is presented that is more easily retained. Role-playing scenarios solidify newly acquired information, and action planning provides an opportunity to prepare the participants for on-the-job application. These techniques were chosen because they provide the best option for active involvement of the participants, and thus, their attainment and retention of skill. Keywords: Wellbridge, personal training, active training, human capital Designing an Active Training Sales Program for Wellbridge Clubs Sales Staff Wellbridge Clubs is a fitness management company that was founded in 1983 in Denver, Colorado (Wellbridge Clubs, 2014).
