Health expos are a common component of many organisation’s health and wellness programs. Health expos can include any variety of activities:
- health screenings
- educational and motivational seminars
- health stands
- massage
- healthy food samples
- exercise sessions
The main benefit of the health expo is that they offer organisations a cost-effective means of running health activities in the workplace for a large number of employees. A health expo does two main things: it provides accurate and easy to understand health information from employees, and get employees excited about improving their long term health.
The one concern with the health expo is that it is short lived. Such activities generally only last for a day or up to a week. This is obviously not enough time to make a substantial change to the employees health and wellness. Therefore a good health expo will simply be the entree for a longer term organisation-wide wellness program.
