WELLNESS IN THE WORKPLACE

The City of Pompano Beach understands that employees are our most important resource. Because we value our employees, we want to offer programs that enhance their health and well-being!

We recognize that for optimum health, one must focus on:

  • Physical: How you care for your body
  • Financial: How you manage finances
  • Emotional: How you care for your mind and cope with stress
  • Social: How you connect with others
  • Spiritual: How you find meaning and purpose in life

All of these aspects of self-care are critical to a well-balanced, healthy life. When one area is out of sync, it can affect other domains. For example, individuals with chronic health conditions (physical) may be more prone to anxiety and depression (emotional). When you take care of yourself, your physical and emotional well-being improves and so does your resiliency, which improves one’s ability to cope with daily stressors.
