What is "Corporate Wellness" ?
Show us a company that is listed in the Top 100 to work for and we'll show you a company that quite likely has its finger on the wellness pulse of its workforce. It’s a fact – healthy, happy employees are what make a company strong and successful. Investing in the wellbeing of your employees is one of the smartest investments you can make. Healthy employees have lower absenteeism rates, reduced stress levels, higher productivity, fewer medical claims, and greater pride in their workplace.

There are many ways to bring wellness into your workforce. LifeWorks will work with you to determine what avenues will work best in your corporation and will administer the program from its developmental stages through to ongoing management. We are pioneers in top tier corporate wellness facility design and programming. Everything from comprehensive wellness services and health club facilitation to specialty programs and teambuilding activities.

We help many of the top corporations and facilities to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost man hours due to health related issues.

LifeWorks senior management team has 50 years of combined employee wellness experience. Our depth of professional talent and unique use of leading edge technology enables us to confidently offer corporate wellness outsourcing and programming, staffing, fitness facility design, membership administration and services.

We recommend that corporate clients offer programs and services that draw from, but are not limited to: fitness room operation, personal training, team building, nutritional counseling, chiropractic, therapeutic massage, in-chair massage, yoga, Pilates and wellness counseling. Some more innovative program aspects can include concierge service, life coaching and physiotherapy.

We believe in the importance of working with our clients to investigate the possible funding options for employee wellness: fully subsidized by the corporation; cost shared with the employee; or, fully paid by the employee. LifeWorks also works actively with key client managers to include them on the LifeWorks management team. We mentor/train employee fitness representatives who then bring the excitement of wellness into their workplace. Lastly, we feel it is very important to survey the employee base for their opinions on wellness, services and outcomes.

By utilizing LifeWorks established wellness program infrastructure, our customers can concentrate on their core business. There is no need to re-invent the wheel – we have a 10-year history of infrastructure that can be customized to each client application. We have proprietary systems that address: surveys; facility design; staff scheduling; billing; payroll; membership administration; employee intake; facility and member safety; maintenance scheduling; waiver forms; liability insurance; and much more.

The LifeWorks team includes a balance of staffed executives and a large team of subcontracted Program Specialists and Service Providers. Our Program Specialists manage fitness and wellness facilities and services at client sites, overseeing staff and operations. Our Service Providers are practitioners such as Chiropractors, Registered Massage Therapists, In Chair Massage Practitioners, Registered Nutritionists and Personal Trainers who offer private, and/or semi-private and/or group services. This combination of staff and subcontractors allows LifeWorks to be fully scalable and flexible to meet client needs.

LifeWorks has an impeccable reputation in the employee wellness field and can draw on its many partnerships, subcontractor relationships and experiences for the benefit of its clients. For example, our 10-year relationship with fitness equipment supplier Lifestyle Equipment results in LifeWorks clients receiving the best pricing, initial service and ongoing maintenance.
