We aspire to meet the ever- evolving wellness needs of small, medium and large businesses throughout New England.
Workplace Wellness Matters
For Employees
In the world of Functional and Lifestyle Medicine, we look to lifestyle factors as drivers of health or disease. Health begins in the places where people work, live and play. Where we live impacts how we live. Since people spend half of their waking hours at work, the workplace is a major driving factor in the role it carries on people’s health.
For Employers
Investing in worksite wellness supports business’ bottom lines by increasing workers’ connection to the organization, enhancing productivity, morale, emotional health, retention, sense of connection and community, while also reducing healthcare spending, and preventing burnout and absenteeism. Your company’s wellness program conveys the values that you care about your employees and their wellbeing by “walking the talk”.
For Communities
In October 2022, Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy stated “A healthy workforce is the foundation for thriving organizations and healthier communities… we have an opportunity and the power to make workplaces engines for mental health and well-being. It will require organizations to rethink how they protect workers from harm, foster a sense of connection among workers, show workers that they matter, make space for their lives outside work, and support their growth. It will be worth it, because the benefits will accrue for workers and organizations alike.”
