Wellness Programs and Employee Productivity

We have been providing corporate wellness programs, health seminars, on-site massage, and health fairs in downtown San Francisco for over 20 years. 

If you are an employer, the benefits of being proactive as far as promoting health and wellness at your company are huge. Companies that have ongoing wellness programs have lower workers compensation costs, cheaper health insurance premiums, fewer total employee sick days, less staff turnover, and a much more productive work force.

Corporate wellness programs are Win-Win. The employer and employee both benefit in a big way.

The wellness programs we offer to businesses in the San Francisco Financial District can be as simple as monthly or quarterly seminars on topics such as ergonomics, nutrition, posture, carpal tunnel, stress, and neck pain prevention, to full blown ergonomic evaluations and space design. 

They can be as simple as a massage day or carpal tunnel screening.

We can also put together a company health fair with massage, foot scans, posture checks, eye exams and more. Big or small. We tailor make the event to your space.

There is a lot of research of late that is tying too much sitting to poor heath and even higher risk of heart disease. Our seminars incorporate the latest research on ergonomics and always include a "Stay Fit While You Sit" component whereby we show proper workstation set-up and exercises.

Executive Express Chiropractic has been providing chiropractic and corporate wellness services in San Francisco since 1992.

Corporate Wellness Programs: are they necessary?

 

We have been providing corporate wellness programs in San Francisco for almost 20 years now. I have personally worked with the Pacific Gas & Electric Company, the Dept. of Transportation, the San Francisco Unified School District, American Postal Workers Union, Charles Schwab, SF Legal Secretaries Association, and hundreds of major corporations in the San Francisco Financial District to help them keep their employees healthy.

Why is corporate wellness so important to San Francisco employers?

Well, healthier employees are more productive at work that's why. Healthy employees miss less work, have a better outlook on life, appreciate their jobs more, stay with the company longer, are easier to work with and train...and make the company more money. It's win-win.

The facts are in. We are not designed to be sitting at a desk all day in front of a computer. We are designed to be moving all day long...to be using all our muscles. In fact, recent research from the American Cancer Society suggests that sitting all day can lead to early death. Now how's that for a reason to implement corporate wellness at your company?

Here's the deal...implementing a corporate wellness program at your company is not difficult or expensive. You do not need to have a big space or a gym. You can hook up with corporate wellness providers such as ourselves that can provide structured ongoing health screenings, health talks, chair massages, group walks and stretching sessions in the Financial District, and discounts at local health clubs.

Here is a partial list of some of the corporate wellness services and seminar topics provided by Executive Express Chiropractic:

• On-site Chair Massage.
• Health Screenings (posture, blood pressure, spine, strength, flexibility, stress).
• Health Talks:  Headaches, Stress, Posture and Your Health, Carpal Tunnel, Stay Fit While You Sit, Yoga at Your Workstation, Women's Health, 20 Minutes To Health, Healthy Weight Loss with Plant Based Nutrition).
• Full Service Health Fairs.

• Yoga and Stretching Classes (with proper space).
