Wellness Expo

How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?

The Club at Ibis’ Wellness Expo offered various participatory “action stations” including vision, bone density and artery screenings, cooking demonstrations, CPR/first-aid training, massages, yoga and meditation, acupuncture, stretch station, various health lectures, flu shots, painting classes, group cycling, and gym exercises. Each employee was encouraged to attend with their manager’s support. For each “action station” visited, the employee was issued a space on a bingo card. The number of spaces equated to the number of raffle tickets issued to enter into various drawings. At the conclusion of the Expo, 28 fabulous wellness raffle prizes were awarded to employees. Prizes included Fitbits, paddle-board, juicer, grill, bicycle, and gym bags to name a few. A healthy lunch consisting of wrap sandwiches, vegetables with hummus, fresh fruit, yogurt, and trail mix was also provided to all attendees.

Healthy and satisfied employees directly affect all aspects of the club operation . Healthy initiatives directed towards staff carry out to the Members through behavior, job performance and overall well- being. An employee that carries pride in their position also provides a well-rounded, positive experience to the Member.
