What Is An Employee Wellness Program?
Retaining employees is hard enough in the best of times.
In a time of the Great Resignation? It seems damn near impossible.
And while you don’t need a reason to make the office more enjoyable, it’s a good time as ever to pause and reflect on how to attract and retain your employees.
Enter the Employee Wellness Program.
An Employee Wellness Program is a company-funded program that aims to improve the health and wellbeing of its employees.
Here at Paragon Body, we provide a leading employee wellness program to companies like Zoom, Conde Nast, Qualcomm, Clari, and others.

Is An Employee Wellness Program Only Fitness Classes?
An Employee Wellness Program should always encompass much more than fitness or nutrition classes.
After all, what you do outside of the gym is always more important than the 30-60 minutes you spend inside of it.
At Paragon Body, our goal is to give employees the tools and resources to live healthier and happier outside of the time we spend together.
Here are a few valuable services that are included in every Employee Wellness Program:
1. Weekly Health Reminders
Weekly Health Reminders are a great way to connect with employees each week outside of classes. At Paragon Body, employees receive a helpful wellness or nutrition tip in their inbox to give them a boost throughout the week.
2. Employee Consulting Sessions
Sometimes employees will have an individual question about exercise or nutrition that they don’t feel comfortable asking in front of a group. At Paragon Body, we are the only Employee Wellness Company to offer free individual sessions for employees, where they can meet one-on-one with our personal trainers and nutritionists to get customized advice for their unique situation.
3. Recipe Hub
Nutrition is such a huge part of the health and wellness journey, which is why we place such a huge emphasis on healthy eating at Paragon Body. Through our Employee Wellness Program, employees receive access to our comprehensive Recipe Hub, which is full of trainer-approved recipes for every meal of the day. Recipes are updated monthly!
4. Online Mental Health Sessions
After two isolating years of COVID and risk of work burn-out, it’s important that your Employee Wellness Program addresses mental health as well. Here at Paragon Body, we’ve teamed up with BetterHelp to give employees one free month of online therapy sessions.
5. Online Company Platform
We understand that everyone has a busy, stressful schedule. That’s one of the reasons we’re in business! At Paragon Body, every company has their own unique Paragon Body platform where employees can login to catch up on previously recorded classes, view health reminders, sign up for consulting sessions, and more.
