4 True/False Wellness Challenge 1. Protecting yourself and others from high stress is important. 2. Multitasking is an acquired skill and is essential to success in today s complex working environment. 3. Understanding why one does something is a critical step in the process of personal change. 4. Evidence supports that employees are more likely to engage in wellness activities when they are complicated and boring!

5 Wellness The optimal state of living well, regardless of an individual s spectrum of health Encompasses physical, intellectual, mental, emotional, social, occupational, financial, environmental and spiritual well-being

6 Current State of Health in the U.S. Behaviors are the number 1 killer of Americans, due to smoking, overeating, lack of physical activity, alcohol and drug use, non-adherence to medications and suicidal gestures Overweight and obesity will soon surpass tobacco as the number one cause of preventable death and disease in the United States; 42% of Americans will be obese by 2030 (CDC, 2012); 1 out of 3 Americans will have diabetes by 2050 One out of 2 Americans have a chronic disease One out of 4 Americans have multiple chronic conditions

7 What Does The Evidence Tell Us? Employees Today are Stressed & Depressed! One out of 4 individuals have a mental health problem. Depression and stress are poor predictors of health and wellness outcomes.

8 Every day, we make behavioral choices that influence our health and wellness outcomes

10 WE HAVE A HUMAN ENERGY CRISIS

11 Research has Supported the Relationship between Wellness and Productivity

12 Why is OSU Investing in Wellness? Because we care about our Buckeye family For every dollar invested in worksite wellness, there is a return of more than $4.00 in reduced healthcare costs, higher engagement, improved productivity and lower absenteeism -Weldon, 2011, Harvard Business Review

13 Since early 2012, we have been building a cross-university comprehensive & integrative framework: The One University Health & Wellness Council Vision: To be the healthiest university and community on the globe Mission: We exist to facilitate the highest levels of wellness for faculty, staff and students across the university and community

25 ENERGY MANAGEMENT Our most critical resource is our energy Most fail to manage it effectively

26 HISTORY of the ATHLETE PROGRAM Sports Law Enforcement Medicine Business Story of the Wild Boar

27 Energy Management Principles Managing ENERGY, not just time, is the KEY to extraordinary results! Full engagement is the acquired ability to intentionally invest your FULL and BEST energy, right HERE, right NOW. Energy is four dimensional: Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual (purpose). Multitasking is the enemy of extraordinary energy. Human energy oscillates, peaks in demand and recovery are important for top performance. Human Performance Institute, Inc. (2010)

28 Energy Management Tips Are you aligned with your ultimate dream/purpose and mission in life? Face the truth in all ways: Physically, Emotionally, Mentally, Spiritually Stories (positive or negative) that you tell yourself are powerful Changing your story is key to changing your life. Human Performance Institute, Inc. (2010)

29 Movement Principles Our bodies are made to move! Movement leads to: o Improved blood circulation o Increased metabolism Non-movement leads to: o Impaired blood circulation o Decreased metabolism Human Performance Institute, Inc (2010)

30 Nutrition can positively or negatively impact each energy dimension Going too long without eating: inadequate glucose to cells function declines in all energy dimensions decline of lean muscle mass and slowed metabolism Human Performance Institute, Inc. (2010)

31 Nutrition can positively or negatively impact each energy dimension Eating too much: a bolus of glucose that the body can't use decreased energy and lack of engagement increase of insulin and fat storage Human Performance Institute, Inc. (2010)
