How does positivity apply to employee wellness?
Employee wellness is all about inspiring your employees to make healthy change. The key to making healthy change is to tap into a source of consistent motivation.
There are two different types of motivation that people use to bring about healthy change. The first is extrinsic motivation—meaning it comes from something outside of you. The second is intrinsic motivation—it comes from something internal or innate.
A focus on positivity instills a sense of intrinsic motivation in your employees. Check out our webinar recording to learn why that’s a better method for addressing employee wellness where you work.
What can you do to shift towards positivity?
Focusing on positivity is all about shifting the culture of wellness where you work. It might take some time, but it’s an important process for building an effective wellness program. Here are six great ways you can make that shift.
- Use positive messaging
- Seek out the good things

We think positivity is really the only way to go. Optimism not only has some benefits automatically associated with it, but it addresses the challenge of healthy change in a way that works. Take the time to develop a wellness strategy that encompasses positivity as a key element.
