Health is a large word. It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well; and not today’s pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a man

Corporate wellness
A corporate-sponsored wellness coaching program can create a culture of wellness. It can help individuals lower the risk of developing high dollar diseases. The ultimate goal is to reach “at-risk” employees before becoming a “claim” to the health plan. The Wellness Coach can take a holistic approach, rather than focusing upon a specific disease or illness.
Employers know wellness coaching is a leading solution for cost savings and risk reduction. It can affect long-term gains for the employer and create a resource for employees and spouses to learn strategies for changing lifestyle behaviours influencing their personal long-term health and well-being. With wellness coaching on the benefit, program employers have an opportunity to touch a large section of the employee population, many times, including the spouses.
