About Us - Corporate Seminars
Companies are increasingly aware that healthy employees are more productive and reliable. Employees who have health problems are less productive, have lower morale and are less satisfied with their work. The result is higher health insurance costs, increased absenteeism, and employee attrition. Companies attempt to address these by offering health screenings to identify health issues such as blood pressure screenings, body mass index, and cholesterol levels. While this approach is effective, it does not address what are often the fundamental causes of ill health interwoven into the lifestyles of the employees. Proactive health screenings are effective but do not address the educational aspect of making healthy lifestyle choices. Julie Webster Health Seminars provide the link between education and implementation.
Education promotes changes that can have lifelong impacts on individuals and their families. Since the goal of health education is to positively impact basic lifestyle, effective education takes place in calibrated steps to allow manageable change. Many elements common to the American lifestyle - such as improper food choices and too little exercise - can be addictive and difficult to change. There are no medications that change lifestyle. Change occurs only as the result of clear, practical education delivered in measured amounts to promote understanding the benefits and choosing a healthy lifestyle.
Julie Webster & Associates Health Seminars Series is designed to be highly effective by presenting education for lifestyle change through clear and powerful information, useful and workable strategies for making gradual and incremental change, and the demonstration of the beneficial outcomes.
Julie Webster presents seminars on a wide range of topics immediately relevant to corporate employees.
