With all of the uncertainty and isolation during the recent stay-at-home orders, loneliness is becoming more apparent to many of us. Here are some ways to cope.
Incentives are a staple in a client’s program design, but what part do they play in supporting a culture of well-being? Dr. David Anderson shares his insights.
Just as each individual is different, so is each workplace culture. Are your employees proud to tell people where they work? Do they feel supported to take time each day for well-being? Is high-touch or high-tech the right modality for your team?
Attitudes about well-being are changing and employers of all sizes realize that there’s more to wellness than ROI. Employers and well-being professionals increasingly understand the value of looking beyond the physical markers of health such as fitness and nutrition to focus on the whole person and all elements of well-being, such as social connectedness, financial wellness, professional development, purpose and fun.
Perception is projection. Our beliefs shape our reality. As a leader, when you share a vision for your team’s power and intellect, it encourages wholeness. Your energy allows them to believe in themselves even when they can't feel it, see it or hear it. This leads to happy, healthy and engaged colleagues. Your actions and your words can remind them who they truly are and how they contribute to the greater good.
Just like in any other personal relationship in our lives, if we don’t feel seen, heard and valued at work – we disengage. We don’t trust the message, we don’t feel supported in our mission and we can’t understand the purpose. This is human nature. Through a deliberate investment in creating a well-being culture, your employees will develop a sense of belonging and purpose.

Recently, as the Wellbeing Officer for Alyfe, I spoke in front a packed house about the power of gratitude AND how to bring it into the workplace. I was honored to present at the Health Action Council Annual Symposium in Columbus, Ohio. I shared how appreciation and respect is a better motivator than money! How active gratitude makes people feel better physically, emotionally, psychologically – not just at work, but in life.
I want to take a moment to send a big THANK YOU to YOU! 2018 has been an incredible year, and I am deeply grateful that you’ve chosen to spend your time with us. This year, we’ve seen more of our team more than ever step into their full potential, grow in ways they couldn’t have imagined and fulfill their purpose of making this world a better place. And, I can’t wait to see what 2019 will bring!
Most people that use tobacco want to quit but don’t know how. As a company it’s important to support and encourage your employees to lead a healthy lifestyle; whether it’s losing weight, managing stress, or quitting smoking. So what does a happy and healthy employee mean to your organization? It could look like higher productivity levels, less turnaround, or a more engaged culture.
Alyfe Wellbeing Strategies is a special place to be, and we have much to be thankful for. Each one of us at Alyfe is grateful for you. Our clients. There are numerous times during the year when we say thank you, but this week of Thanksgiving we want to make a formal note to each and every one of you.
This question is something we ponder a lot at Alyfe Wellbeing Strategies. One thing we know for sure? Our clients LOVE our strategic account managers who hold all the pieces together and are the boots on the ground. We believe this “secret sauce” of white-glove service, active co-creation of wellbeing initiatives, and a passion for high-performance habits makes our strategic account managers some of the best in the industry.
