Ensuring workplace wellness and safety is every
employer's responsibility

• Any organization that considers itself
  responsible has to ensure workplace wellness and
  safety for its employees. In fact, workplace
  wellness and safety has become such an important
  element for organizations that ensuring these is
  a regulatory requirement in many countries.
  Although in many places workplace wellness and
  safety are considered two separate items
  ideally, an organization should provide workplace
  wellness and safety together as part of a
  holistic plan, so that the two complement each
  other.

An organization that ensures workplace wellness
and safety is a healthy organization

• A healthier workplace, it goes without saying,
  produces a happier employee, who in turn is a
  more productive employee. A healthier employee is
  more motivated. She is more likely to be more
  participative in the organization's activities,
  and is more likely to be eager to learn new
  things for her own and the organization's better.
  The foundation of a healthy workplace is a
  workplace wellness and safety program that takes
  into consideration the overall health
  requirements and needs of the employee.

Continuing exercise

• Having said that, it is a fact that workplace
  wellness and safety is a work in progress. It is
  not possible for any organization to declare that
  it has reached the end of its workplace wellness
  and safety program and that it needs to make no
  improvement on it. This is because many
  employee's work conditions keep changing in most
  organizations. These have to be accompanied by
  corresponding changes into the workplace wellness
  and safety, which takes into the consideration
  the most current situation of each employee at
  work.

All kinds of workplaces need workplace wellness
and safety

• Of course, it is not always that only a workplace
  in which heavy labor or hard physical work is
  involved has to have a few workplace wellness and
  safety measures in place. These measures apply
  equally to everyone at every kind of workplace.
• Workplace wellness and safety is, as we have
  seen, to be implemented across all the business
  activities, right from those who work in
  air-conditioned offices to those who do the
  manual work. So, the needs of each organization
  are unique. For example, an organization that is
  involved in software has to make sure it provides
  a healthy environment in which the chairs are
  comfortable and ergonomically designed, among
  other things. Likewise, a factory has to make
  sure that the employees are made to feel
  comfortable in the discharge of their daily work.

• In this way, a workplace wellness and safety
  program has to take all factors into
  consideration to ensure that the employees are
  well looked after. It is not only their
  responsibility to do so ensuring workplace
  wellness and safety is a means to making the
  organization a healthy one.
