Workplace Wellness
Do you have anything in your workplace designed for your benefit to keep healthy either your mind, body, or spirit?

Re: Workplace Wellness
We have three Wellness days where we can just stay home for any reason we want as long as we phone in and say we are taking a wellness day! It's wonderful!

Re: Workplace Wellness
We get 10 days of personal leave a year. That is for everything. The longer you work there the more days you get.

Re: Workplace Wellness
no we dont have anything like that, but we have monthly events and such that we can all go to. I think bowling is this weekend, and bobsledding is in 3 weeks...

Re: Workplace Wellness
We get massages once a month and the standard company perks are complete life insurance including dental and optical treatment which I guess is pretty good for 'wellness'. And were allowed to access any of the games we publish for free. Considering they are MMO's that can be a good or bad thing.

Re: Workplace Wellness
That counts as "insensitive and unrequested body massage"

Re: Workplace Wellness
we get massages at our work too, every thursday. have to pay for it though, but work subsidizes (sp?) 1/2 of it so it's pretty cheap.

Re: Workplace Wellness
My bosses made a change recently,made inside the building smoke free and I am glad they did this.My bosses know I am very allergic to cigarette smoke.The customers and 2 of my co workers that smoke do not like it at all and they know rules are rules.

Re: Workplace Wellness
Our Wellness Plan also pays most of the cost of 12 massages a year! We pay up front, then get re-imbursed!
