Celebrate National Wellness Month! What a fantastic reminder to each of us to prioritize well-being. Implementing wellness initiatives in the workplace can make a significant difference in how we can lead happier, more productive work lives. Things like offering healthy snacks, organizing fitness challenges, providing mental health resources, and promoting work-life balance can all contribute to a healthier and happier workforce.

National Wellness Month was established to highlight the importance of self-care, stress management, and healthy routines. It should probably have been called National Wellness Year, as practices contributing to a better life should be daily events.

In our fast-paced, multi-tasking lives, it is of utmost importance to have a self-care routine, including eating healthfully, supporting mental health, exercise, work-life balance and hydration. Specific measures at the workplace also include ergonomic office furniture, team-building and environmental awareness (Celebrating National Wellness Month In August | Wellable).

August is a fitting time for National Wellness Month: people are finishing summer vacations, getting kids ready for school and preparing for different seasons. With all the stress and anxiety that can come along with change, it is important to recognize that the workplace should be as healthy as possible. Especially considering it is where we spend most of our waking life!
