What if there was an easy way to help employees combat depression, increase life satisfaction, improve holistic wellbeing, and live longer—all while making the world a better place?
Including it in your corporate wellness program would be a no-brainer, right?
Spoiler alert—one of the most effective solutions to boosting wellbeing involves the simple act of helping others.
Enter volunteering.
Holistic wellbeing encapsulates much more than just physical fitness. Instead, it encompasses how fulfilled individuals feel in all areas of life, including emotional, social, financial, purpose, occupational, and physical wellbeing.
And coincidentally, the act of volunteering touches on most of these areas.
When it comes to volunteering, it’s not the quantity that matters. It’s how meaningful the experience is to employees, the positive change it makes in the world, and the human connections it inspires.
