Tip of the Month

Employers typically offer their employees ‘Sick Days’ but how many employers offer ‘Wellness Days’? Consider providing your employees with 2-3 personal wellness days in a calendar year. The days may be used to celebrate their birthday, their wedding anniversary, a religious holiday or attend their child’s school-related events. This is an excellent way to promote employer awareness and sensitivity.
