NHHCA Brings Wellness Strategies to Leadership Meeting

The New Hampshire Health Care Association is holding their 15th annual golf tournament—this year with a twist.  In order to include all members in the event, Shannon Pichette, event organizer, has invited Wellness Strategies LLC to present an experiential learning program for the non-golfers in the group.

Barbara Wilson and Donna Wood, founders of Wellness Strategies, will provide the health care leaders an opportunity to experience first hand the power of position, the impact of attitude, and the value of clarity in a highly interactive program called  “Intentional Leadership”.

The New Hampshire Health Care Association is the largest long-term care organization in the state of New Hampshire representing a group of more than 90 skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and intermediate care facilities for children with mental retardation. Wellness Strategies LLC is a New Hampshire-based consulting, coaching, and training organization dedicated to helping businesses in Maine and New Hampshire improve productivity through quality, sustainable programs to bring out the best in their employees.

Wellness Strategies Offers Workplace Wellness Program

One growing Seacoast company is doing something to help businesses improve productivity. “Productivity is inextricably linked to employee wellness” explains Donna Wood. “In fact, research has shown that 74% of overall productivity loss can be directly attributed to poor employee health.” Wood is co-founder of Wellness Strategies, a New Hampshire-based consulting, coaching, and training organization that helps businesses build results-oriented sustainable employee wellness programs.

She has co-founded the company with well-known business professional Barbara Wilson to help businesses uncover the critical productivity zappers in their organizations and develop effective strategies to quell them. “People call in sick because of stressful relationships at work,” says Wilson, “maybe even more often than because they’re sick. Poor working relationships are the second critical driver of productivity loss.”

To address these wide-ranging factors, Wellness Strategies services begin with a thorough assessment, ranging from employee attitudes to actual employee-health-related costs. The resulting programs range from seminars on weight loss, smoking cessation, stress reduction and financial fitness to wellness fairs, communications strategies and teambuilding.

To introduce area business leaders to the basics of wellness programming, they will also offer a workshop through the University of New Hampshire’s Professional Development and Training Center at Pease on Thursday, November 1 entitled, “Why and How to Build a Sustainable Employee Wellness Program. In this workshop they will draw on the experience and success of other organizations in the country to explain how to build a sustainable wellness initiative, including the seven critical components for a cost-effective, results-oriented, workplace health promotion program. A four-stage implementation model will be presented. Discussion will include tangible and intangible costs of an unhealthy workplace and why employee health and well-being is so critical to productivity.

For more information about their educational and service offerings for improving employee well-being and creating healthy workplaces, contact them at (603) 427-0292 or info@wellnessstrategies.net.
