Wellness at Work: Promotional Products that Promote Self Care All Year
National Wellness Month may be recognized in August, but the fact is wellness is a year-round necessity. Wellness products are an enduring staple for corporate gifts and a top choice for promotional products. We’ll dive into the wellness economy and the value of workplace wellness, and in recognition of our own dedication to self-care, we’ll share some of our team’s personal favorites.
The Wellness Economy
According to the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), the global wellness economy was valued at $4.9 trillion in 2019 and is expected to reach $7 trillion in 2025. This industry is made up of 11 sectors, the most prominent of which are personal care and beauty; healthy eating, nutrition, and weight loss; and physical activity.
Burn out. It’s real.
What is the cost of burn out?
GWI estimates workforce unwellness – things like work-related stress, employee disengagement, work-related injuries, and chronic disease – may cost the global economy 10-15% in economic output each year.
Gallup found that each year the cost of voluntary turnover due to burnout is 15% – 20% of payroll budgets and $322 billion is lost from turnover and lost productivity. Yikes.
It’s important that employers care for the wellbeing of their employees. A U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report determined that 80% of U.S. businesses with more than 50 employees provided wellness programs for their staff and that corporate wellness programs not only help retain existing team members but also attract new talent. Sixty-seven percent of employees who work for companies with a wellness program even note they like their jobs more.
Swag as a Wellness Tool
We saw a huge increase in promotional products geared towards Wellness during the pandemic. Products like yoga mats, fitness bands, and sleep masks were more in-demand as employers grew concerned for people at home sheltering in place. Even now, as we return back to the office, employers are more conscious and aware of the importance of the health and well-being of their team.
During these last few years, our brand stylists have discovered a unique selection of wellness products that are perfect for those seeking to support a healthier lifestyle. From updating workout routines to achieving your deepest sleep, keep reading to find a few of their favorites below:
