According to AstroNova Inc., its Whole Wellness concept – addressing an employee’s body, mind and soul – helped create a 30 percent decline in medical claims and a 15 percent increase in productivity per employee.

“We want to start with some small wins. … And the body is a great place to start because we see very tangible results,” said Matt Cook, vice president, human resources and organizational development. The electronics manufacturer has a running club, weight-loss classes and healthy food options for employees.

AstroNova also offers learning, everything from career enhancement to personal financial planning and first-aid training. The soul component connects the individual to his or her community.

“People have different abilities and different interests. … It’s really about presenting opportunities and making sure there are enough choices where everyone feels like they can participate in something,” said Cook. •
