Workplace Wellness is good for business, for employees & for

society as a whole

Wellness is more important than ever!

Companies are now trying to figure out the right solution to

combat rising workplace wellness

issues and wellness ingredients….

We are talking about an online message board/an internet forum, where people can

converse/communicate and get information about “Workplace Wellness”

Talking specially about “WPW” in a tree-like structure.

What can motivate the TG ?Empowers the user to express them.

For the Compen & Benefits HR professionals it will also be a different learning style, as when they start talking about the categories the real situation comes out and the possibility of people posting on the forum increases, which can be expected in the increase of our data kitty.

The online discussion board can be a venue where they feel more comfortable contributing to group discussions.

With positive reinforcement from interactions on the discussion board, increase in-class participation may also occur, increasing the popularity and data collection, with different level of communication.

Keep the user updated with content in each category.

This forum is an imperative step in terms of developing a data base for Chihealth services, while delivering :-

The availability of right and well researched content for our target audience, i.e. the C & B (compensation and benefit) HR professionals, allowing them to actively participate on various subjects falling under the category of “Workplace wellness”

The idea is to make this forum a hub for C & B professionals.

A recent survey conducted by Right Management (a subsidiary of Manpower), identifies India as having the highest positive response level for wellness promotion in the workplace, with perceived highest work/lifestyle balance scores alongside Denmark and New Zealand.

The reasons for this perception need to be further understood by people like us and replicate the importance of “workplace wellness” via an online platform, where a continuous effort of providing new learning in terms of “workplace wellness” will support the cause of this forum.

The members of this forum will note that there will be a range of outcomes (from the kind of content they surf and the level of discussion between the individuals) that will be considered most meaningful will vary according to one’s perspective. For eg. What is the impact of health on work productivity or how can health related productivity losses be measured ?

Or How do the impacts vary by the type of wellness program.

Encourage (through content) and exchange of experiences will help a TG to better understand “Target their risk” along with a stronger evidence based discussion.
