Providing wellness programs and resources is an effective way for employers to promote a healthier workforce because it directly addresses the overall well-being of employees. Wellness programs may include health screenings, fitness classes, stress management workshops, nutrition counseling, and initiatives that encourage physical activity and mental well-being. By offering these resources, employers help employees adopt healthier lifestyle choices, which can lead to reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, and lower healthcare costs. Moreover, employees who feel supported in their health are often more engaged and satisfied with their jobs, fostering a positive work environment that can enhance team dynamics and morale.

In contrast, implementing strict attendance policies may not focus on improving health and could contribute to a stressful work environment. Limiting access to health information can create barriers to employee wellness and prevent them from making informed health decisions. Reducing overtime work might help alleviate stress, but it does not provide proactive measures for health and well-being like comprehensive wellness programs do.
