Prioritizing these topics helps employees prevent chronic conditions, manage daily stress, and feel more supported at work. When organizations focus on the right wellness topics, they create a healthier culture and improve engagement, productivity, and retention.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-why-behind-employee-wellness\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_%E2%80%9Cwhy%E2%80%9D_behind_employee_wellness\"><\/span>What is the &#8220;why&#8221; behind employee wellness?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Health and wellness topics for employees need to be promoted in the workplace for the sake of the employees and the company. If employees are more engaged in these topics, they are less likely to suffer from mental health disorders, obesity, and other types of health complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHealthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have,\u201d former UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said. Alternatively, you could also say that<strong> healthy employees are the greatest asset any company can have.<\/strong> The same concept still applies either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/covid19\/pulse\/mental-health.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">over 40% of Americans<\/a> between 18 and 40 years old experience symptoms of depressive disorder or anxiety disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a more comprehensive breakdown of their findings as of 2023:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>18-29 Years of Age: 39.2%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>30-39 Years of Age: 36.8%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>40-49 Years of Age: 29.3%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>50-59 Years of Age: 25.8%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>60-69 Years of Age: 19.4%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevent found similar statistics when it comes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/products\/databriefs\/db360.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prevalence of obesity<\/a> amongst Adult Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ages 20 and Over: 42.4%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ages 20 to 39: 40.0%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ages 40 to 59: 44.8%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ages 60 and Over: 42.8%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees cannot achieve high productivity in the workplace unless they have excellent mental, physical, emotional, and financial health.

Why do you think this is so? Here are some possible reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There are more sedentary jobs with less social activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People have too much exposure to junk foods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is less time to exercise and move around<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People have more overall awareness of health and wellness topics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget that previous generations didn\u2019t have access to the internet and hundreds of television channels to give them detailed information about health and wellness. They could only rely on what the people around them were saying, such as doctors or teachers. But when it came to their employers promoting wellness topics, forget it. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now people have access to unlimited sources of information, allowing employees to care more about their health.<strong> The only problem is that many employees lack the time, energy, and motivation to do anything about it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-employer-responsibilities\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Employer_Responsibilities\"><\/span>Employer Responsibilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees sacrifice so much for their employers.
