Welcome to our Clear Point Work Well blog. The idea to have a blog related to wellness came from a personal interest we share here at Clear Point. It’s a core value of ours that you can have a work/life balance, if you are committed and ready to take some actions. It’s also true that employees that have some degree of this balance perform better.
A post on November 30, 2009 in the Hope Health newsletter blog reads:
“The merits of wellness and disease management programs have been the subject of much discussion, in part, because the return on investment can be difficult to measure. But a recent study by the National Business Group on Health (NBGH) found that half of the employees surveyed said that the health care communications they receive from their employer and health plan are “valuable or extremely valuable.” And 43% said those communications led them to take action to improve their health.
While these aren’t exactly numbers you can take to the bank, they do show that employees are paying greater attention to the health-related information they receive from their employers.
Today’s fast-paced, demanding lifestyles, however, keep many from taking steps to better their health. Of those polled in the NBGH study, 40% said they are more stressed today than they were 2 years ago, citing work, finances, and work/life balance as their top stressors. As a result, employees are increasingly looking to their employers to help them lead healthier lives.”

So here on our blog I hope we can offer you some workable, small ideas to bring a little more balance and less stress to your work day. We hope you find these useful.
Cheers!
