How to make wellness a part of your workplace’s culture As you build your own culture of wellness, we’re here to help you and your employees learn how to improve their healthy lifestyle and well-being. Use this toolkit for information on available communications and resources to engage and motivate your employees to good health all year round.
You can count on Blue Shield’s team of wellness experts to support your efforts every step of the way.
Plan a wellness eventThe best thing you can do to help your employees live healthier is to give them the education and tools to help them manage their health and well-being. Consider hosting educational meetings or a health and wellness fair. Whether you are planning an event already, or don’t know where to begin, Blue Shield is here to help you coordinate your next wellness event.
Onsite wellness presentations Your sales representative can deliver a series of onsite wellness presentations to help all of your employees learn how to be healthier and take advantage of the resources we offer members to achieve their wellness goals. These onsite presentations are for groups of 15 or more and run 30 to 60 minutes, so they can be scheduled during a lunch break or time that’s convenient for you. Themes include:
Get moving Research shows that active people tend to live longer and feel better. This presentation focuses on the key benefits of daily exercise, staying motivated, and how we can help your employees achieve their fitness goals.
Eat healthy Learn how a healthy diet can help your employees reduce their risk for a variety of diseases. This presentation outlines the importance of eating healthy foods, what nutrition means, which foods to avoid, and how to use the nutrition-related tools Blue Shield offers.
Well-being Blue Shield’s own wellness program shows that to be truly healthy, your employees need to take care of their emotional health, as well as their physical health. This presentation helps your workforce understand the causes and effects of stress and ways to manage it, in addition to the importance of restful sleep.
Prevention Your employees can reduce their risk of costly health problems when they know more about their health status – and this presentation shows them how. Topics include monitoring their body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels, highlighting tools that help stay on top of prevention guidelines.
Host a health and wellness fair Planning a health fair isn’t something you have to figure out on your own – we can help. We work with you and offer professional guidance, providing the level of support you need. And we have a choice of booth and table setups that can include wellness materials and BMI screenings for your employees. We’ll help you coordinate the right event for your employees.
