[/caption]As you may know from Jessica Lynn’s previous post, Hilton Head Health has a corporate wellness program called H3 Direct that teaches employees the latest health information and encourages them to implement this information in the form of monthly challenges. This month’s challenge is a “Digital Detox”!
We are choosing at least an hour a day, three days out the week to cut back on screen time. That’s right, instead of playing video games, surfing the Web, flipping through the channels or even chatting it up on the phone, we are engaging in other ways to unwind such as going on walks, cleaning up the house and catching up on some reading.
Corporate Wellness is a great way to show your employers that you care about their health. We have a great time discussing the challenges every month—bringing the office even closer and making us all happier and more productive throughout the day.
I am writing about our corporate wellness program not to only encourage you to join in on our digital detox :-) , but also because I want to encourage you to make your office a healthy environment. The US Department of Health announced new health guidelines yesterday. They recommend at least 2 ½ hours of exercise a week; when broken down, that’s only 30 minutes a day along with at least two days of strength training. And, how do they suggest you fit this exercise into your day? At the office!
