Salem, Ore. -- In honor of Safety Month, this week’s safety topic is Employee Wellness, or total worker health, so this provider of temp services in Salem, OR would like to concentrate on where Franchisees have the most impact—franchise office employees.

The Express Salem Branch Manager Jennifer Butler said, "Here at Express, one of our main goals is to keep a healthy and safe environment for not only our employees but for the employees that we bring on for other businesses in the local area.”

The Basics
This agency states that the foundation to employee wellness is giving employees the resources to have a good diet, reliable housing, access to a physician at a reasonable cost, and paid time away from work to deal with personal issues without suffering a financial impact. The ability to handle these things leads to overall wellness and preventing employees from becoming unhappy, stressed, or sick.

In addition to benefits, they also stress respecting employees’ personal time. Consider if employees are actually getting enough time to have a healthy lunch. How often do employees have sleep or restful time at home interrupted due to work “emergencies.” Give employees the time to enjoy healthy food choices, relaxation between shifts, and good sleep. This includes structured scheduling of lunches, as well as “on-call” hours split between employees.

Staying Active
They strongly suggest to encourage your employees to be active and take care of themselves. Poll the team to find out what would interest them. Is it diet, exercise, or losing weight that they are interested in. Managers do not need to ask employees about their individual personal health, rather ask “If we were to set a healthier living goal as an office, what would be something that would interest everyone?” At the Express Office, they have two examples to share. One structured method involves employees recording and submitting qualifying activities in order to receive discounts on their own cost for healthcare. On the less structured side, they have also hosted voluntary “Biggest Loser” challenges that reward simply by the percentage of weight lost, not the pounds.

This provider of employment in Salem, OR understands what impacts employees’ financial well-being, providing a pay and benefits package that reduces stresses, and working with employees to find fun yet structured ways to promote a healthy lifestyle will increase attendance, productivity, and even job satisfaction, all while engaging your employees and increasing retention.

“At Express Salem we pride ourselves on the culture of safety we’ve created with our associates and clients. We frequently complete safety tours with our client companies and prepare our associates for their work environment through safety training programs," said Butler. "We want our associates to remain safe on the job, and we do everything in our power to make sure that happens.”

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a website full of information and tools on total worker health. Also, remember to visit the Safety Month Page on MyDot for resources and information on working with clients to keep associates safe.
