What does employee wellness mean?

Wellness is so much more than just regular exercise and eating well — this is especially true when we’re talking about employee wellness in the workplace. Popular thinking suggests that there are actually seven dimensions of wellness; physical, mental, financial, occupational, recreational, spiritual and relational. With the average human spending approximately 90,000 hours at work in their lifetime, supporting each of these areas in the workplace is a necessity.

Why use employee wellness surveys?

Whether you’re just getting started in building your employee wellness program or you’re looking to give your wellness initiatives a refresh in 2024, employee surveys can help you measure employee wellness in your company and provide essential insights into what your team wants. You can use the survey results from your wellness survey to gauge where your company currently stands in terms of employee wellness and employee engagement. Having a baseline on your employee’s physical and mental health will let you create actionable plans in efforts to improve employee wellness and measure the success of employee wellness initiatives. But how do you choose wellbeing questions to ask your team? This can be a tough question, especially when it comes to covering each dimension of health for remote and in-office teams.
