Wellness- A Much Needed Ingredient Of Life

A human being can be described as the amalgam of mind, body and the soul. When all these closely related entities work in harmony with each other, a person is bound to have a feeling of well being, commonly known as wellness. In the current scenario, where the world is demanding and merciless in its ways, wellness has got its own share of importance. The state of being disease free can also be termed as wellness, but its concept can be enunciated in various other ways. It is a broad topic covering all possible types of fitness, the most vital being physical fitness and mental fitness. It further includes the level to which the basic needs for the human life to sustain including food, shelter and clothing have been met.

From another point of view, wellness has got an abstract, spiritual meaning. This view is quite different to the physical and mental health. In this context, a special mention can be made of the National Wellness Institute, which was established way back in 1977, which is devoted to a noble and practical task. One of the aims of the institute is to impart a certain degree of professionalism to the holistic concept of wellness.This institute organizes various conferences that aim at improving overall quality of life of the people. The institute proposes a new model of wellness consisting of six dimensions. These dimensions are physical, spiritual, occupational, emotional, social and intellectual. Various eminent personalities deliver lectures in the conferences of the National Wellness Institute.

Companies all over the world also have not been left untouched by this concept. A number of organizations have introduced wellness programs which have positively affected and in some places changed the way of working which lead to better income, revenues and ultimately provided a path of fast growth in the respective disciplines.
This has been primarily due to the fact that for an organization, an employee is not just a worker, but also a resource in which the organization has invested and hopes that he or she will help in increasing profits for the company.

Due to this fact, these organizations pay special attention to the wellness quotient of the employee. Infact it is rightly understood that wellness of an employee is directly proportional to his or her output at work. For this reason, apart from on the job sessions, provisions for personal counseling have also been made in some of the organizations.
