What are the sources of your employees stress? Personal/home life, long hours, environmental issues, poor air quality, work overload and poor health are only small number of reasons for stress in the workplace. Obesity, tobacco use and stress are the most common hazards to health in our society today. In addition to the direct harm they cause to individual wellness, they also provoke many indirect issues related to health care.

Wellness Programs for employees are essential to the long-term viability of all businesses. Wellness programs are designed to prevent illness, disease or premature death through behavioral and organizational change. Studies have shown that having happy, healthy employees increases productivity and morale, reduces turnover, absenteeism and decreases health care costs.

With rising health care costs, companies are seeking ways to offer preventive health care programs that ultimately reduce the high cost of health insurance. These companies realize that 70-80 percent of health care costs are due to lifestyle-related illnesses such as stress. One way to reduce stress is to implement a corporate wellness plan. It can be as simple as creating a relaxation room or having more water coolers, which will decrease the levels of dehydration. Stress is the body's response to the environment. It can be motivating or crippling depending on the person's health and stress coping skills. As stress increases, people may have difficulty concentrating, communicating and understanding what is being communicated to them. In the work place this can lead to: Lowered immunity, Depression, Anxiety, Poor digestion, Headaches, Insomnia and Restlessness.

The corporation benefits by offering a wellness program to their employees two fold, by providing a wellness incentive as well as enhancing the employee/company relationship.

What have you done in the last 91 days that will impact the rest of your life? How long have you been telling yourself and others that you're tired or stressed or need to lose weight? How long have you been living with pain? What have you done about it until this point?

The commitment: 39 classes in 91 days. Just 3 classes per week. (COMMITMENT - The act of binding yourself (intellectually or emotionally) to a course of action)

The misconception most people have is that you need to exercise every day to be in great shape. If you'd exercised 156 times or just three days a week last year, you wouldn't have the same complaints you have now. Not only would you not have complaints, but you'd receive compliments about how healthy you look, how confident you are and how much energy you have. People would ask, "What is your secret?" And you'd reply that there is no secret, no short cut you've taken, no miracle pill or diet.

When you make a commitment that, no matter what, you'll attend 39 classes in 91 days, your life will change forever. And others will notice. When you're healthy, positive, strong, confident, pain free and calm, the energy you radiate will impact everyone around you.

Now is the time! The time to have balance in your life. Just three days, or 4.5 hours, a week will earn you a life that until now you have only dreamed about.
