Effective wellness programs recognize the importance of building a supportive cultural environment. The workplace culture includes shared values/heartfelt beliefs about what is significant. It includes social standards of expected and accepted behavior called “cultural norms.”
It includes peer reinforcement from family, friends, and co-employees. This reinforcement can help one adopt healthy lifestyles. Tools are available to audit a corporation.
The long-term success of any wellness program is dependent on the corporate culture.
Some healthy culture signs in a business are:
• workers communicate openly
• Leaders support diversity and opinion
• staff members have fun
• Policies support wellness
• workers are encouraged to grow
• employees work together as a group
• employees’ skills and talents are matched to their jobs.
• Flexible work schedules are available
• Employers consider employees as their most valuable asset
