What are Carolyn Scott’s top strategies for enhancing employee wellness?

Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager. I focus on wellness as a whole system, and that applies to workplaces too. From what I share on The Healthy Voyager, my top strategies for enhancing employee wellness include:

• Offer a wellness stipend (for gyms, fitness apps, yoga, etc.) so healthy habits stay affordable
• Invest in robust healthcare support: good insurance, hearing/vision support, mental health resources, and no-questions-asked sick days
• Encourage active commuting where possible, like a bike-to-work program or transit incentives
• Support daily healthy habits: clean workspaces, hydration stations, healthy snacks, and time for movement breaks
• Create a low-stress culture: reasonable workloads, boundaries with after-hours email, and access to stress-management tools
• Foster community with social events, team-building, and inclusive wellness challenges so people feel connected, not isolated
