10 Essential Strategies for Workplace Wellness: How to Stay Healthy at Work
In today’s world, one of the most valuable assets you can invest in is your health. With the rising tide of healthcare costs, it's more important than ever for business owners, companies and employees to prioritize wellness and preventive health and sickness-causing measures.
Healthcare reform has put many companies in the hot seat, forcing them to reevaluate their approach to wellness in the workspace. But fear not, because we've got the ultimate survival guide to help you navigate the treacherous waters of office life while keeping your health afloat.
Here are our top 10 best practices to ensure you stay healthy at your home office, remote office, co-working space or cubicle:
1. Wash Your Hands Like Your Life Depends on It: Seriously, folks, hand-washing is your first line of defense against office germs. Scrub those hands like you're prepping for surgery to keep those pesky bugs at bay.
2. Sanitize Your Workspace, Or Else: Your desk might look clean, but lurking beneath the surface are more bacteria than you can shake a stick at. Keep it pristine with regular cleaning to avoid falling victim to the dreaded office plague.
3. Hydrate or Die-drate: Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink? Not on our watch! Stay hydrated to keep your energy levels up and your productivity soaring. Remember, a well-hydrated employee is a happy employee.
4. Hand Sanitizer: Your New Best Friend: When soap and water aren't readily available, reach for the next best thing: hand sanitizer. Keep a bottle stashed at your desk for those moments when cleanliness is next to godliness.
5. Stay Your Distance: If your coworker is looking more like a walking biohazard than a productive member of society, it's best to keep your distance. Steer clear of those exhibiting symptoms of illness to avoid catching whatever they've got.
6. Nourish Your Body, Fuel Your Mind: Skip the greasy fast food and opt for a nutritious lunch instead. Load up on lean protein, leafy greens, and fresh fruit to keep your body and mind in peak condition.
7. Move Your Body, Shake: Sitting at a desk all day is a one-way ticket to stiffness and soreness. Take regular breaks to stretch your legs, get some fresh air, and re-energize your mind.
8. Protect Your Eyes: Staring at a screen all day can wreak havoc on your eyes. Combat digital eye strain by taking regular breaks to give your peepers a much-needed rest.
9. Cultivate Mental Well-being: Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Take time each day to check in with yourself, practice mindfulness, and seek support if needed. Remember, it's okay not to be okay. Did you know May is Mental Health Awareness Month? Learn more click here.

Remember, your health is your most valuable asset, so don't neglect it in the pursuit of success. By following these 10 best practices, you'll not only stay healthy and happy at work but also set yourself up for success in all areas of life.
Stay Healthy. Stay Connected. Stay You.
