Services Partnerships Corporate Wellness

As a corporate wellness consultant, I work with companies large and small who want to reduce absenteeism, assist their employees with stress management, increase employee productivity, lower employee healthcare costs, and increase retention of valued associates.

How I help

Employee Stress Management Program

Employees who do not know how to manage and leverage their stress may be dissatisfied, inefficient, unproductive, unhealthy, and conditioned to respond to challenges as threats. Also, stress may sabotage good employee work relations. To improve employee morale, employee relations, employee health, and to inspire employees to have creative responses to stress, Restful Awareness Wellness Programs offers certified instruction in basic relaxation and meditation techniques, as well as a specific, time tested, and effortless, personalized meditation technique to counterbalance the detrimental physiological and mental effects of the Fight or Flight Response (from stress). Researchers have studied meditation for about fifty years and have extensively documented the stress busting and health promoting powers of meditation. Another benefit of regular meditation for the employee is an expansion of awareness, which can help employees to break out of bad habits, make better decisions, become more intuitive, and to learn to view potentially stressful situations and other people from new, less conditioned perspectives.

As reported in Business Week, Apple, Yahoo, Google, and other companies have recently added meditation instruction to their list of employee benefits. Restful Awareness Wellness Programs is happy to show you how you can integrate meditation and relaxation instruction into your employee benefit packages.

Wellness Optimization Program

The educational component of the Restful Awareness Stress Management and Wellness Programs is another way to fully optimize the mind/body health of your employees. Learning opportunities such as on site classes and /or "lunch and learns", provide employees with practical and inspirational information. Some of the topics covered in the learning sessions include functional vs. non functional physical fitness, nutrition, inflammation, weight management, and longevity enhancement.

Another component to enhance the wellness of your employees and to increase retention of valued associates, is an on site healing service, providing therapies such as massage therapy, and acupuncture. Healing sessions of twenty minutes to a half hour enable employees to recharge, find relief from aches and pains, release stress, and perform at maximum efficiency.

A properly administered wellness program can help you retain your best employees, and improve the productivity of employees who are challenged by physical and mental discomfort, and disease. Additionally, an effective wellness program can improve the bottom line for businesses who provide health care insurance to their employees. According to a recent report by the National Health Statistics Group, nearly 20 cents of every dollar spent 10 years from now will go toward health care. More than ever, it is important for employer provided health care to emphasize wellness and disease prevention.

My health promotion and patient care experience provides me the knowledge and skills to not only reduce employee health care costs, and absenteeism rates, but also to inspire your employees to feel their very best, which can positively impact employee productivity and morale.
