New year, new you! We’ve been hearing this sentiment a lot in the past few weeks and have probably heard it every year since we can consciously remember. Many of us take time at the end of each year to establish goals for the new year — and many of those goals are wellness-focused.
In fact, the top 3 new year's resolutions for 2023 all have to do with a healthier lifestyle. Depending on what that means, that could be exercising more, eating healthier, or specifically losing weight.
These resolutions can take a lot of work — over 40% of people fail before February! A lot of this has to do with how hard it is to create new habits, especially if you feel like you don’t have the time or the money.
That’s why working for a company that has built-in wellness programs and stipends is so important! Not only does it say your employer values wellness in a way that encourages you to pursue it, they want you to do so with little stress about time and financing.
So we’re highlighting some great companies in the Midwest that offer wellness programs so you can work for someone who wants you to succeed in those health-related resolutions!
