Companies typically use wellness programs to better their bottom lines. They incentivize various healthful activities for the staff and, in theory, the staff becomes healthier and more productive.

Be transparent from day one. Don't just surprise all of your employees with a new initiative and expect them to simply go along with it. Without any prior knowledge, individuals simply won't be inspired and enthused by your campaign, regardless of what you're trying to achieve.

Hiring a new employee is an expensive and time-consuming process. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), it typically costs $4,425 to hire a new employee — not to mention the 36 days the average team spends trying to fill a position. Yet nearly 1 in 5 employees (16%) of employees quit in their first week — and 17% leave after the first month.
