The Rise of Wellness in the Workplace
Promoting wellness is starting to become a common practice in the workplace. One of the primary contributing factors is the increase in mental health issues in North America, with workplace stress being the main culprit. Stress can be detrimental to business, costing a company thousands of dollars in productivity loss, employee absenteeism, and health insurance claims. Employers are realizing how necessary it is to their bottom line to implement wellness programs that support their workforce's physical and mental health.
