Executives Improve Health with Innovative Wellness Program


One of the six essential pillars of a successful, outcomes based wellness program is multi-level leadership support. As noted in the Harvard Business Review article, "What's the Hard Return on Employee Wellness Programs", employees won't buy into a program that's just about money. However, if executives make time for healthy behaviors, workers feel less self-conscious about taking a fitness break or signing up for a wellness seminar during working hours.

Wellness Workdays created an innovative program for senior leaders who wanted to make an investment in their own health and set an example for their employees.

The infographic below outlines their improved healthy behaviors and overall results within this 10-week program. Not only did the senior managers improve their health, they helped to shape and support their employees' wellness efforts.
