How Can We Make Office Wellness Programs Exciting Beyond Just Yoga?

Dear All,

Please give some suggestions on organizing employee wellness programs, apart from yoga, that can be practiced for half an hour to an hour in the office. How can we generate interest among employees regarding the same?

Regards,

Hi Ranjit,

You could think of mind-churning games as well, like crosswords, quizzes, etc. You could also consider music, as it soothes the nerves. Dancing, such as Krumping and Salsa, is another modern and trendy option.

What we do is organize different societies in companies. Employees, depending on their interest, join a particular society. The HR employee engagement team then takes care of the updates, schedules, etc.

Hope this helps...

Hi,

How about a laughing club in your office? We implemented one at our Google office 4 years ago, and the results have been positive.

I think it would be better to make them members of an organization such as Art of Living or Siddhi Samaddi Yoga. This will help them stay connected on a weekly basis and engage in activities like bhajan, social awareness, etc.
