It’s pretty common to see September as a month to gear up for a “new year.” Many HR managers are looking to assemble a Wellness Program and use upcoming Benefit Fairs to launch a health initiative in the workplace. Begin by checking with your EAP to see how they can help support and supplement your wellness efforts. Additionally, the web offers a wealth of free resources and the best way to start is by knowing the monthly observances. I’ve listed the next three months here and will update the list each quarter. Also our Blog will post entries on several of these issues as the year goes on. But you can start building resources now by accessing the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports . It’s a site with links to national organizations offering low cost or free resources to help your business promote healthy lifestyles. I’ve also listed many links here so you can start this project today…then put your feet up and take a “Stress Down Day” for yourself.
