Dentsply Sirona’s new wellness campaign
Dentsply Sirona knows that the health and wellness of its employees and their families are of the utmost importance. 2017 ushers in an updated Wellness Program.
In 2016, the internal wellness programs Strive and Stay Fit helped to promote healthy living through a variety of campaigns and activities. For example, during the fourth quarter, there were a number of lunch and learn seminars across the York locations on topics covering healthy eating during the holidays, financial wellness 101 and “tis’ the season to be stressed.”
For 2017, the Corporate Benefits team spent time revamping the entire Wellness Campaign. Moving forward, the team would like to give responsibility for leading the campaign back to each business unit as it gives everyone a greater opportunity to try out different ideas locally. For example, in Europe, several locations will continue to participate in races and events with a Dentsply Sirona team, particularly in Bensheim and Salzburg. In the US, locations are planning to participate in a number of races as well. The York offices will be hosting another walking challenge and the team is anticipating rolling this challenge out to the entire US.
The new campaign combines the best of both former companies’ wellness programs into one. The Company wants every employee to have the tools to live a healthy lifestyle. In that spirit, the new slogan is, “Health Matters.”
Focus Areas for 2017 Wellness Campaign
The new wellness campaign is in the same format as the prior year as it includes four quarterly focus areas. This year the focus areas are:
- Quarter 1 – Oral Health
- Quarter 2 – Physical Health
- Quarter 3 – Occupation Health & Safety
- Quarter 4 – Nutrition
Future local editions of Spotlight will share highlights from events associated with the Wellness Campaign.
