Health & Wellness small but steady progress leads to changes that stick, and a healthy business culture starts at the top with buy-in from the president and executive leadership. ���That attitude trickles down to the entire organization, so it really motivates people if they know their managers are on board. And if leadership isn���t excited about healthy change, they need to change course themselves and preach it for the overall good of the organization,��� says Naparalla. A wellness-focused corporate culture and a healthy work/life balance was exactly what Barb Kretsch was looking for in an employer when she joined Secura five years ago. ���I needed to get back to a healthier me, and this environment offers so many different opportunities in its wellness program that you really have to choose not to be healthy,��� says Kretsch, marketing communications ���I needed to get back to a healthier me, and this environment offers so many different opportunities in its wellness program that you really have to choose not to be healthy.��� ���Barb Kretsch, marketing communications manager at S ecura manager at Secura. ���I credit the company���s wellness program, the fitness instructors and colleagues in my classes to where I am today. Overall, I feel good about myself, and I have more energy to perform my role.��� Health and wellness are values deeply, intentionally embedded into the culture of the company, with an emphasis on good eating habits and exercise. Employees can take a break and work out at the on-site fitness center with a personal trainer. At the caf��, healthy entr��es, fresh fruits and vegetables are priced lower than standard fare, and menu selections are labeled bronze, silver and gold with gold being the healthiest option. Secura even had software installed to help measure portion control and tally nutritional information for various eating plans like Weight Watchers. For Kretsch, working out three days a week has not only helped lower her insurance premiums, but inspired her to start running. This year she participated in her first 5K and fivemile runs. ���I never dreamed that would happen in my lifetime,��� Kretsch says. Because your project starts with an idea, START WITH HoffmAn.
