Six
Weeks to Wellness -
Taking Responsibility for My Health and
Wellness
Small
Business and Groups Are Utilizing Coaching
Based Programs
Small
business and groups that would like to provide
a program to their workers without paying
hundreds of dollars per employee find the
group approach more affordable. Workplace
Screening Programs provide basic screening
and testing that should be carried out by
the employees Physician - something already
being paid for with health care dollars.
Wellness programs promote healthy lifestyle
choices and proper balance in our lives.
Learning about wellness can promote self
responsibility and empowered employees are
more productive on the job, experience less
absenteeism and feel happier. Over the last
several years, there has been an up surge
of health related employee wellness programs
which tend to place the need to educate
the employee, as the problem of the employer.
The expectation is that more programs will
need to follow as a corporate response to
health care. My program empowers each individual
to take responsibility for their own health
and wellness by educating them on wellness
initiatives that are value added in real
world situations.
Coaching
as a Benefit in the Workplace
Holistic
Coaches help people with work/life balance
and stress reduction techniques by accessing
the best of both conventional and holistic
health care. The Six Weeks Program
is a fast start as compared to the bi-monthly
process (at times over a period of months)
in One-on-One coaching. Coaches working
with groups tend to become peer-coaching
networks; cost effective, improve productivity
and impact your organization from each individual
up!

How
does it work?
The
"Framingham Heart Study" found
that lifestyle issues such as exercise,
nutrition and stress levels are factors
responsible for most chronic illness. Health
education programs that succeed in getting
people to make healthier lifestyle choices
are proving to be wise, cost-effective strategies
that can dramatically lower health care
costs long-term without impairing benefits
or shifting costs. Wellness and member education
programs are two types of programs that
accomplish this goal. Utilizing the Wellness
Inventory self assessment tool
prior to the Six Weeks to Wellness program
content, will assist in answering lifestyle
issues specific to the individuals needs.
Companies
are seeking the best way to maximize their
investment in healthcare- creative alternatives
for providing good care at lower cost. Employees
learn to take charge of their health and
wellness, as it is a self directed activity.
As business strapped for health service
dollars are moving away from a "I'll
take care of you" model, to one of
self-reliance and self-responsibility, employees
need skills that coaches provide to help
them both understand the process of change
and move effectively past limitations on
the way to their goals. Holistic Health
and Wellness coaching fits perfectly into
this arena.
