Wellness is a big topic at employers these days. (And, it would be bigger if retention issues were fixed and companies knew how to retain their people.) The right programs can make people more motivated, healthier, and more productive and dedicated employees.
I found an example from eBay to be very innovative. They have launched a program called YourDinner.com which allows employees to spend a couple of hours per week (on the clock) with the company’s chefs assembling a week’s worth of dinners to take home. What a great idea! I get to save time and eat healthier and give my kids a good home cooked meal. (Not to mention it is probably a stress release.)
George,
Interesting example. I was just reading today about a program that churches are starting, where members prepare meals to eat at home with their families. So great are the benefits of shared meals!
Interesting to think of employers getting involved to improve physical health… and contributing to emtional /family stability as a result.
