Wellness at Wayside

Agency Wellness Statement:
Wayside strives for its employees to lead healthy lifestyles that lead to wellness in all physical, emotional and social aspects of their lives. Our workforce upholds the value of health and wellness for themselves, and encourages the youth and families we work with to do the same in their own lives. Health and wellness are embedded in our core values and upheld by Senior Team and all Wayside Managers.

 

Areas of health and wellness include:
Physical activity, nutrition, sleep, weight management, stress and emotional well-being, recreation, social and community supports (see MI Health Wheel). Wayside offers voluntary activities and incentives to assist with eliminating unhealthy habits that may contribute to poor health. Wayside is creating an evidence based and comprehensive health promotion program based on the latest research on wellness programs.

 

Why is this important?
The work of Wayside staff can be emotionally and physically taxing, creating stress on many levels. Staff schedules can be unpredictable, productivity and other pressures are constant, and many staff balance full time work with family responsibilities in two and single parent homes. Wayside’s Wellness Program seeks to enhance employee health and improve performance in the workplace. Wayside staff will have a meaningful voice in developing and maintaining the ongoing operation of our Wellness Program.

 

**92% of employers with 200+ employees have Wellness Programs.
