May Learning Lab

Why Wellness in the Workplace?

Categories: TAHRA Learning Lab

Presented by Dr. Melanie Rich and Dr. Linda Goldenstern

Workplace wellness programs are an investment in your company's most important resource, your workers. Studies have shown that workers are more likely to be on the job and performing well when they are feeling well both physically and mentally. Workers are also more likely to be attracted to, remain with, and appreciate a employer that values them. Join us in May as speakers Dr. Melanie Rich and Dr. Linda Goldenstern share information about the efficacy of wellness programs, why the biometrics matter and what the data predicts, methods of identifying "stressed employees" and recent research on incentive efficacy. They will also discuss stress reduction and teach stress management exercise/relaxation techniques and Pilates at your desk, taught by a special instructor.
