As a small business owner, employee wellness is certainly an important consideration for you. After all, when your employees are healthy and well, they are certainly much more likely to be working at their highest productivity and effectiveness levels. When the opposite is true – and they are not healthy and well – productivity can suffer and workplace accidents and injuries are much more likely to occur.
Employee Health Fairs
Health fairs are a great way to make sure that your employees stop and think about all of the important healthcare concerns that can impact their overall health and well being. Invite local health-specific vendors to participate with booths and give your employees time to walk through and learn about the various options that might be available to them.
Consider inviting vendors to participate in the following industries:
- Vision Health – visions screenings, special offers on eyeglasses, information on eye health
- Nutrition – Diet, nutritional supplements, healthy eating options, etc.
- Spinal Health – Chiropractic screenings
- Stress management – Massage therapists, mental health providers
- Physical conditioning – Gyms, personal training, home exercise equipment
- General health – Urgent care clinic, local health department, general health screenings, flu shots
- Safety – OSHA representative, safety supply vendors, occupational health center
- Financial Health – Debt management, credit counseling
These are just a few of the many options that might be appropriate for your company health fair. Set a date, make a list of vendors that you’d like to invite and send out invitations. You’ll likely be surprised to find out how many are happy to participate.
