Who is improving REP in your organization?

10/26/2018

 Who is improving Employee Retention, Engagement and Productivity (REP) in your organization? Does your company have a wellness program? The previously mentioned factors, REP, are the major elements in any organization today. A wellness program can enhance and appeal to employees and increase their sense of company buy-in for their presence in the organization. Think about REP, as the REPutation the organization is building with their workforce.
 
Many times, top management can be clouded by cost and time-management of a program - without seeing the real value in a wellness plan. Programs with consistent management and online tools and resources will grow the company's benefits package and reduce healthcare cost per employee.
 
It is unrealistic to depend on an HR team to manage all aspects of a wellness program and takes a large piece of the employee engagement out of the process. Meliora offers an online system geared to meet the needs of many organizations and their employee population. Employees will interact more with their 'own' online user information and will create programs that will speak to other employees. HR presence is vital for oversight and staff support; total management is not necessary. And, HR will be able to use the online analytics and reports to show progress and successes. Once implemented, it is important to make the wellness program a primary focus; so employees feel the company cares about their wellbeing and the investment.
 
When employees feel valued, they work harder and are more engaged. Offering health and wellness programs that focus on improving their overall wellbeing, as opposed to providing just a healthcare plan, can decrease healthcare spending that is affecting the company’s bottom line. Naturally, daily activities and exercise is good for the body and can have positive effects on everyone’s mental fitness; relieving stress, improving memory, aiding in better sleep and boosting mood. A wellness program will have a ripple effect - making for fit and healthy employees. By maintaining REP, employees will be more adept which will decrease absenteeism, create loyalty and increase their overall job satisfaction. Meliora is ready to 'workout' your company's wellness plan, is your company ready for Meliora?
 
Have a company intranet? Utilize this to boost morale and build a social network to reinforce the organization’s culture; to represent a community the company and the employees create. Ask employees their favorite activities they enjoy outside the office; find the things that will enlist them for company events and gatherings. Ask them to share their stories and wellness successes to encourage other to be more involved.
 
Support and participation from top management are critical; they will attract wellness champions within the organization, who will seek others to be involved and aware. Most employees come to work because they love what they do. Imagine this being the case for all employees. When implementing a program, make engagement easy for all staff to participate. Let Meliora work to shape the company’s REP and expand employee’s plight to wellness and better living.
 
Creating a simple wellness program that’s fun and social [with interaction on all levels of the business] will produce a powerful synergy for the entire work environment. Show employees the company cares with incentives and payouts for participation, including the reduction in benefit cost for achieving different levels. Offer employees a wellness program that is interactive; they can share with other staff and get their immediate family members involved will be priceless to any organization.
 
The Meliora team will explore a REP plan that’s right for your company; we will assist with each step of building the concept to implementation; we work hands-on to find solutions to the following questions:

Why do we need a wellness plan?
How ‘well’ is our employee population?
How do we increase employee engagement?
Have we asked our employees for their input?
How were healthcare cost affected by our employee's health issues last year?
What were our overall absenteeism rates? And, how did this affect productivity?

Put our imagination, passion, innovation and creation to work for your company today!

Be an Observer in Your Own Life

10/19/2018

Last Month, we covered Spanning the Dimensions: Is Your Wellbeing in Order? The four dimensions of wellbeing addressed were: Physical, Emotional, Nutritional, and Medical. Today we will cover the importance of emotional wellbeing and the importance of YOU! We have selected to discuss ‘be an observer in your own life.’

What happens when you take personal responsibility for learning about how you think and feel (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually)? What if you could figure out ‘triggers,’ signs or patterns to shed light on how you could help yourself and those around you - live the best life possible?

You ‘live’ your life, basically, by how you process information, choose to take action and devise a course to work for you and how you process data in and out. Your reactions will run the gamut of happiness (short or long term), disappointment, emotional or physical pain and suffering, acceptance or rejection of responsibility for the result, and possibly stubbornness in considering changing the way they approach a situation. Einstein shared a definition of insanity along those lines. Right?

This life lesson consists of simple tools to create and live your best life on all levels. It provides the framework to learn about you. Ready?

Be an observer in your own life.
It’s amazing what you can learn about others and more importantly about yourself when you slow down and just ‘observe.’ It’s a simple first step towards caring for yourself. Remember, if you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t show up completely to live your best life, or offer your best at work life, social and to be there for others.

How you act/react consciously or unconsciously, helps you to figure out the ‘triggers’, when tripped inside of you, set off a chain reaction causing you to jump to conclusions or say something better left unsaid. You have ‘data points’; ways to calm your nervous system, bring health and well-being into your life and find a route to create a new balance in your life.

Stop at least three times a day to ‘observe’ yourself. Put your ‘technology’ aside, stand still and consciously ‘feel’ what’s happening in your body and your mind. Recall the last ‘thought’ you had before you stopped to ‘observe.’

Keep in mind ‘consistency’ is the key towards getting the most out of this exercise; we know the more we repeat an action, the more it will become a habit. Yes, you read right, start creating a habit of observing yourself and noting what you’re feeling, sensing, and thinking. It’s going to be invaluable.

Have fun on your journey to learn more about your inner and outer self; work to develop a plan of action to create your best life.

Remember, healthy employees, make happy, productive, interactive team members in the organization. To develop and maintain a wellness program can be demanding, this is where Meliora can work alongside you and your organization to build the ideal wellness platform to meet your overall wellness goals to shift your company culture.
 
No worries, we’ve got your back! We found this quote, we thought is a befitting tagline: “When ‘I’ is replaced with ‘We,’ even ‘Illness’ becomes ‘Wellness.’ If you need help on how to implement an employee wellness program, let’s connect. We’d love to learn more about you and your needs. We look forward to working with you!

Spanning the Dimensions: Is Your Wellbeing in Order?

10/3/2018

Last month we discussed Keyword: Wellness, which focused on the importance of taking a look at all dimensions of wellness and the definition of wellness being the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.

Wellness is essential to all of us. Many things in life can be a trigger to shift the focus from our wellbeing to other things we believe are more important, including taking care of others before you take care of yourself. Financial challenges can have more of an affect on your overall health then you might realize. Your eating habits can have an impact in your sleep habits. Good mental health is equally essential for your own state-of-mind, and includes your relationship with those around you - family members, friends, co-workers and neighbors, etc.

The most important  dimensions are Physical, Emotional, Nutritional, and Medical; let’s take a closer look:

1. Physical
Your body is the machine which moves us from A-Z through life. Daily activity is good for the mind, body and spirit. While physical fitness is important to keep your body well maintained. It can also keep you mind focused and conditioned to the routine. Which in turn will make you feel better and increase your mood and spirit. You will find strength and endurance you never knew existed.

2. Emotional
Your mental state of mind can be the driving force for all other situations in your life. One should manage their outcomes, by first acknowledging if any mental health issues exist within yourself or within family members, and then seeking help. 99% of the time you wouldn’t think there was anything wrong, however the 1% will let you know. For the best outcome, seek a mental health care professional to receive advice and consultation.

3. Nutritional
Nutrition is critical to your wellness. For optimal performance good nutrition is highly recommended. Food intake, hydration and a balanced diet can give you the energy, clarity and strength you need to perform your daily task. Staying nutritionally balanced will assist in staying focused on your physical conditioning. Ensure you are getting your vitamins and minerals each day as well.

4. Medical
Maintaining annual doctor visits is the key to maintaining your overall health and wellbeing. You are able to prevent getting sick, future illness and pre-diagnosis. Understanding any prescription medication and following doctors and instructions provided on the medications is critical to avoid overuse causing future issues. Another recommendation is to have a first aid kit in order and easily accessible to you and your family.

The dimensions of wellness are interconnected; pay attention to all for good life balance. All aspects interweave when considering one’s core wellness. Each dimension is fundamental in the quest for optimal health. One can reach a significant level of wellness by understanding how to maintain and optimize each of the aspects of wellness. Assisting everyone in achieving their ‘actively pursued goal.’

Meliora provides the services to assist your population in spanning the dimensions of wellness that are critical to their overall wellbeing. Let, be your solution to develop the platform that allows employees to make their choices and focus on the wellness solution(s) that is right for them. To capture all the dimensions of wellness, we are your answer.
