What to Look for in Wellness Gifts for Employees

Here are a few considerations to make before investing in gifts for the whole company:

Overall Interest in Health and Wellness

Before embarking on a shopping spree for your employees, consider polling your company and gauge what type of wellness your team is interested in. While some folks will be interested in instructor-led classes on an app, some folks will be happier learning how to cook at home.

Does it Promote Team-Building and Well-Being?

Consider whether the gift you are giving to your employees can be utilized by folks of different sizes, genders, and abilities. Will it be a gift folks can bond over and encourage one another to use? Or will it turn the workday into cut-throat competition?  

Will it Benefit Folks In Home Offices?

Be sure the wellness gift ideas you decide on are accessible for everyone, including people on your team who work from home (hence why we provided options for fitness apps and meal delivery services).

When To Give Employees Health and Wellness Gifts

While a thoughtful gift any time of year is always acceptable, we put together a hand guide for when you might want to consider wellness-focused gifts for your employees:

  • Employee birthdays
  • Work anniversaries
  • Employee promotions and accomplishments
  • After completion of a long or stressful project
  • Anniversary of when the company started
  • Employee appreciation day (first Friday in March)
  • During health and wellness awareness campaigns
  • Major holidays like Christmas, New Year, Fourth of July, etc.

How To Promote Employee Wellness In The Workplace

The best way to promote healthy habits for your employees is to lead by example. Let’s say you’re concerned your employees don’t take cardiovascular health seriously. It may be time to start putting on your walking shoes on at lunch and take a walk around block or parking lot.

If a culture of health is embedded into the workplace, folks who work for you will be happy to participate in things like walking challenges and gym reimbursements.

Additionally, you may need to survey your staff to see if everyone has access to a health club or fitness facility and make arrangements to ensure there is equitable access to fitness equipment.

Wellness Gifts for Employees: FAQs

What is considered employee wellness?

Employee wellness can be folded into your company culture in different ways. For some companies it might focus more on mental health through lessons on mediation, journaling prompts, or mental health days. For other companies, wellness might take the form of providing healthy lunch options, walking challenges, or access to a gym or fitness classes.

How do you make wellness fun?

While what your teammates consider fun will be completely subjective to each person, creating challenges or programs for teammates to participate in and build rapport with the team is often more fun than participating in wellness programs alone.

How do you create a culture of wellness in the workplace?

Culture often starts with management leading by example. When it comes to wellness, if team leaders are making time (and letting others do the same) for meditation, regular exercise, wellness appointments, and leisure time it may provide more opportunities for everyone to participate in wellness.
