Wellness has become a critical issue for organizations as it impacts productivity, health benefit costs, and employee engagement and retention. The manner in which workplace health and wellness is approached has also evolved from a focus on safety and cost reduction to a business strategy that covers a broad array of initiatives that are part of workplace culture.

Online corporate health contest/challenge capabilities
PPC Canada recognizes that a major stumbling block toward health and wellness is engagement - getting employees to participate in wellness programs and activities. While wellness programs in the workplace have a significant advantage – reaching employees where they spend the majority of their week – they are only as successful as the number of employees who actively participate in them. PPC’s approach is to:

• Utilize a multi-level program
• Use appropriate incentives
• Pair programs with online and in-person educational outreach
• Facilitate company-wide and local wellness events
