Let’s face it—most of us spend more waking hours at work than anywhere else. So why not make the workplace part of your health routine, too? You don’t need a full lifestyle overhaul or a gym membership to start feeling better. With a few small shifts in your workday, you can boost your energy, improve focus, and stay ahead of those sick days.
Here are some simple ways to keep wellness in motion while getting the job done:
🥗 Bring Healthier Food Options
Skip the morning donuts and grab a protein bar, fruit, or a homemade lunch that fuels you through the day. Think wraps, salads, or something as simple as yogurt and granola—your energy levels (and mood) will thank you.
🚶♀️ Use Your Breaks for Movement
A 10-minute walk around the building or a quick lap outside can help reduce stress, improve circulation, and reset your mind. It’s one of the easiest ways to sneak in activity without interrupting your workflow.
🧍♂️ Stand & Stretch Once an Hour
Desk job? Don’t let it turn into a slump. Set a reminder to stand up, stretch, or do a few shoulder rolls each hour. Better yet, get a stretch buddy and do it together—your body (and brain) will stay more engaged.
💬 Be the Wellness Role Model
Lead by example. Invite others to walk with you at lunch, encourage healthy snack swaps, or create a quick office wellness challenge. You’d be surprised how quickly others join in once someone starts.
Why Wellness Matters—and Why Hire Up Supports It
We want you to feel your best, because when you do—you work your best. That’s why Hire Up Staffing goes above and beyond to support employee wellness in a way most staffing firms don’t.
Healthier employees tend to miss fewer days, feel better overall, and are more productive in their roles. But even more importantly—you deserve to feel good and be supported in your daily life. You give your best to work, and we believe your health should get the same level of care.
💛 Gold-Level Health Insurance
Once you’ve been consistently working with us for about 6 months, you may qualify for our PPO Gold medical plan, where Hire Up pays 80% of the cost. That means your portion can be as low as $20–$40 per paycheck. It’s high-quality coverage, built for real people.
Did you know nearly 60% of Americans receive their health insurance through work? And since most of us spend more hours on the job than anywhere else, we think your workplace should support your overall well-being—not work against it.
🏃♀️ We Actually Encourage Healthy Living
From seasonal wellness reminders to tips like the ones above, we’re committed to helping you build better habits—without making it feel like one more job. Whether you’re working in an office, a clinic, or a warehouse, your health matters. Take regular walking breaks, stretch it out between tasks, and drink water throughout the day. These small changes can go a long way in keeping your energy up and stress levels down.
🎯 You’re Not Just a Placement—You’re a Person
We believe in long-term relationships, not just short-term assignments. That means taking care of your health, your goals, and your quality of life matters to us. We’re always looking for ways to help our team stay on track. This season, we’re sharing reminders and tips to help you get moving more, eat better, and prevent common illnesses that lead to lost work time.
You’re not just a name on a timesheet here.
At Hire Up, we’re proud to be one of the few staffing companies truly invested in your health and well-being. Whether you’re just starting a new assignment or have been with us for a while, know that we’re here to support you, cheer you on, and help you stay well while you work.
If you ever have questions about benefits, wellness tips, or how to feel better at work—reach out. And remember: We’re here to support you, every step of the way.
