There couldn’t be a more critical time to implement a healthy workplace. The evidence is there - the corporate wellness industry is gaining momentum with an expected net worth of $6 billion by 2015. With the rise of chronic diseases like obesity and heart disease, and the increasing cost of employer health insurance claims, employ¬ers are struggling to combat the increased absenteeism and reduced productivity that come with poor health. The key to cultivating a culture of wellness in the workplace lies in engagement; employees need to be invested in their own personal path to health. Strategic communication with employees can facilitate this integration so that wellness becomes an intrinsic part of their work day, every day.

Companies around the world have realized that implementing a tuition program has various organizational benefits, and serve many diverse functions. In fact, approximately 71% of companies have some form of tuition assistance program, according to a 2012 Bersin & Associations Tuition Assistance study. A significant drop from their 2008 study showing approximately 85% of companies offered some type of tuition assistance. Often, companies have set up their tuition program to serve as a standard benefit offering - an entitlement, so to speak. However, forward thinking companies are becoming more strategic with their tuition assistance programs, and are using them to assist in meeting other organizational goals and objectives. Specific needs are varied in nature, depending on the current focus of the organization.

There are dozens of reasons why companies should take an active interest in their employees’ well-being. Happy, healthy people work harder with more focus and clarity, promote a more collaborative work environment and, in the long term, save employers money in missed work, healthcare premiums, disability claims and elsewhere. This explains the exploding popularity of employee wellness programs. Most wellness programs focus on physical fitness, stress management, preventive care and chronic disease management, and ignore a factor that’s often the primary cause of stress and distraction in people’s lives – financial health.

As you’re reading this, you’re likely sitting at your desk, peering into your computer screen. Or perhaps you’re on the move, zoned in on your smartphone or tablet. Either way, it wouldn't take a psychic to predict that this is probably your default position– sitting down, hunched over, and tap-tap-tapping away at a keyboard (or touchscreen).

Stress, a part of life, often has the ability to get out of hand. In order to assess the impact and value of stress in our lives, it is necessary to understand the entire phenomenon. Stress in itself refers to an internal medical condition when a person is subjected to a stipulation that he or she feels cannot be fulfilled. Though a little bit of stress helps in providing warning signals thereby rendering the body to utilize its resources to the optimum, stress in higher quantities is considered to be a negative force that affects both physical and mental health.
