June 2010 is the 2nd annual National Employee Wellness Month
National Employee Wellness Month brings awareness to the importance of creating healthier and more physically active communities in the workplace and the critical role a proactive approach towards wellness plays in reducing national healthcare costs. Created by Virgin HealthMiles in partnership with The Strategies to Overcome and Prevent (STOP) Obesity Alliance, this second annual initiative provides a vehicle for educating both employers and employees about the benefits of preventative health within the workplace. Following the success of last year’s National Employee Wellness Month, we are pleased to welcome a new sponsor, the Institute for Health and Productivity Management, to the program this year. In addition, National Employee Wellness Month has moved to June for its second annual year in efforts to continue building awareness and participation in the program. June is an ideal month for this program as it marks the mid-point of the year and is a meaningful milestone to reflect back on corporate and personal health goals.

Thanks for the Virgin Health Miles program. Having this program and the step challenges helps me to stay motivated. I find that when the weather is very hot or cold knowing that a team is counting on me or just that I’m going to “plug in” my pedometer helps to keep me motiviated.

I work at First Horizon Bank. I have really enjoyed this new health and fitness program a lot. What I have done that has helped me is getting up with the sun in the mornings and just walking/running in the breeze. I love to workout with a training tool dvd called Taebo! I have lost 18lbs!!! With eating right and exercising, you can get the results you want and look great! Thank you Theresa Romano
