How to encourage a health culture in your workplace 

 If you’ve been thinking of how to encourage a healthy culture in your workplace, you’re at the right place.

It’s going to make your workplace feel more enjoyable and productive.

• But, how do you start?

How to encourage a healthy culture in your place of work 

Inspire others.

And how do you do this?

You’ve got to lead by example. Because when you prioritize your health, others might choose to do the same. 

Talk about your health goals and the progress you’ve made so far with people at your workplace. 

Also, learn to look really good. 

• Take care of your hair 
• Skin 
• Nails 
• Dress well (wear things that flatter your body)
• Smell good 
• Eat healthy foods 

Sometimes, the messenger needs to look the part. It’s not because people are shallow. 

• But because they are HUMAN. 

Everyone wants to know the “secret” to what makes a person look so good. 

So if you want to encourage a healthy culture at your workplace,

YOU should look encouraging too. 

Talk about the importance of eating healthy 

Not in an annoying way, of course. 

You can start by coming to work with healthy foods and sharing with others 

Also, make sure there are healthy snacks and beverages for people in your workplace.

Mental health 

Talk about the importance of taking care of one’s mental health.

And how it can affect everyone’s work if it’s not in a good place. 

You can create a small space and call it 

“The wellness corner”

A place where people can go.

• Meditate 
• Do deep-breathing exercises 
• Short workouts like squats, marching in place, and high knees.
• Stretch 

Exercise 

Exercising helps with stress by reducing it and increasing one’s energy levels.

You could organize some physical activity, like a walking club. Where everyone takes a walk during break time. 

To make it even better, you can get a walking pad and place it somewhere where anyone can use.

Or you could set up a meeting to discuss getting a treadmill at work, so everyone can use it too. 

If you all make a little contribution, you could save up and get one. 

It would really help people at work get some physical activity, no matter how small. 

Build a supportive environment 

Every workplace has its issues. But you can do your best to make it as supportive as possible.

• Don’t sit to gossip about someone else. And if you see someone doing it, try to correct them.

• Help your colleagues however you can. And if you’re a boss, you can always support your employees. 

• Encourage people to have open conversations. It can reduce work stress and improve everyone’s confidence. 

Additionally, try to offer flexibility at work. It can improve people’s lives at work and lower their stress. 

If you’re the head of a department, allow your team to have short breaks where they can catch their breath a bit and just relax a little. 

You can also allow work hours to be flexible a little. 

Or give them the option to work remotely. 

You can do this, just start.
