I've spoken with a few employers who have moved away from what has to be some of the least attractive language you could use about health risk to start talking about wellbeing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm into wellbeing, not because of social pressures to look a certain way, but because I'm interested in living a long, full and healthy life.
If your access to health care involves your leaving work and driving somewhere and parking and waiting for a long time, that's not going to promote healthiness.
I used to work for the World Health Organisation in poor countries all over the world - Bangladesh, Korea, the Philippines and India. You learn a whole range of things about how other people are living and try to connect with them to gain an understanding of where they're coming from.
There's a way of dealing with hardships that are healthier than going out. That's what I've learned.
Individuals will achieve healthier lifestyles when prevention and wellness programs are accessible and available in their workplace, through their health provider, and in their communities.
Unfortunately, we are still in an age where individuals may be discriminated against because of health conditions.
I really never look at my health issues as 'Woe is me.' I've seen the reality of that. And it's not a pleasant thing.
I used to have an obsession with building businesses and forgot about building health. I was focused on the destination instead of the journey. I caution you to not do the same.
I work in an industry where everyone is flawlessly beautiful, but I just want to be healthy.
A job is a very healthy thing to do.
