Building a Healthier Work Environment, Part 4: It’s Our Business

Baudry Therapy Center/BRIO Wellness

Creating healthy work environments and promoting overall wellness is what we do! In fact, it’s the cornerstone of our business.

It’s often the little things you do at work or home that make the biggest difference in how you feel, act and perform. We give our employees and our patients the tools and education to make healthy decisions every day.

Our personal wellness program works. At Baudry, we:

  1. Focus on the WHY with laser sharp vision. We embrace and live our mission every single day.
  2. Encourage a team workout every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 5:30 am.
  3. Facilitate weekly team discussions and encourage open communication to discuss what is working and not working.
  4. Team up to enter road races. We encourage each other to set and reach for specific race goals. This is part of our “practice what we preach” initiative.
  5. Engage experts to speak to us quarterly on different aspects of our job and our performance.
  6. Encourage our team to post their personal and professional goals on our goal board.
  7. Help our employees celebrate their successes when goals are reached.

Our business (physical therapy/ wellness) is all about healthy living and healthy habits. The Baudry Therapy Center team helps patients daily to deal with injury, pain, or dysfunction. We help them understand their condition, the factors involved, and what they can do to eliminate their symptoms.

Proper tools and education to succeed

Our wellness sessions incorporate education and daily strategies to help our clients work and feel better. From stand up breaks, to 10 minute stretch sessions, to adequate hydration and nutrition, we give our clients the proper tools to succeed.

Most times incorporating more movement is the key. Our bodies are made to move. They crave movement and respond much better when given it.

Open Communication is Key to Growth

Open communication is the best strategy a company can implement to promote a healthy work environment. It helps rid the daily stress which can infect companies. It can also help bring the company back to the WHY they do what they do – their core mission and vision.

At Baudry, we faciliate a weekly meeting to discover what’s working and what’s not. We re-visit our mission and vision and explore how we deliver our service to our clients.

This weekly ritual helps manage the little aggravating things that get under people’s skin and creates stress. Tackling the little things makes a huge differences for employees. It also pays dividends when it comes to productivity.

These meetings allow for open communication of ideas, which spark change and growth. Focusing on how we can work together to accomplish the company goals, the mission, and vision, helps the team grow both personally and professionally.

Workplace Wellness for Employees

A healthier work environment starts with you. Assessing how you feel about the work you do and the contribution you make to the company’s success is the first step to creating a healthier work environment. Take a moment to tap into how you really feel about your work.

Feeling GREAT about your work and your work environment needs continual attention and frequent re-assessment. Here are some simple steps you can take to feel great about your work:

  1. Understand the mission and the vision of the company. Why are you doing what you do? Find out where you fit into this mission, and how you can help.
  2. Live up to the values set by the organization. If there are no values, help your employer define your values. You must feel in line with the company values.
  3. Be clear about your job duties and be responsible for getting it done.
  4. Seek to add value to the company. How can you best use your talents to help the company be more successful?
  5. Look objectively at how things are done, recognize what works and doesn’t work, and offer suggestions for improvement.
  6. Be creative and diligent in working towards solutions for the things that aren’t working well.
  7. Take pride in your company and your contribution to the company’s mission.
  8. Contribute constructive ideas. Seek never ending improvement.
  9. Don’t settle for the ways things are. Work for the change.

There are endless ways to creating a healthier work environment. Start by assessing your attitude about work and take it from there. Find small things you can change and positive things will come.
