#Balance partners with wellness providers to ensure all products or services for your wellness journey are easily available to you. Although wellness is an individual pursuit, it is significantly influenced by the physical, social, and cultural environments in which we work and live. Therefore, promoting workplace wellness is one of the best investments you can make as an employer by promoting a work-life balance.

What is Wellness?

Wellness is the quality or state of being healthy in mind, body, and spirit. It is an approach to healthcare that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as opposed to emphasizing treating diseases, especially as the result of deliberate effort.

What is Workplace Wellness?

Workplace Wellness is any workplace health promotion activity or organizational policy designed to support healthy behavior in the workplace and to improve health outcomes. You and your employees are your organization’s most valuable asset. Helping them stay healthy keeps your organization healthy. The business will see reduced absenteeism due to illness and increased productivity due to better health.
