February is associated with love, making it the perfect month to highlight issues related to the heart. That's right, it's American Heart Month and the #1 cause of death in America: heart disease. How can your brand message connect with the effort to reduce heart disease?
Here are 4 simple ways to show your heart some love:
- Reward with healthy food choices – a spice set could be the motivation your company needs to start a wellness program and share heart healthy recipes with co workers.
- Be active – 150 minutes a week is recommended for a healthy heart; that is 30 minutes for 5 days a week. A walking meeting is an easy way to take a break and get some exercise. Encourage employees to walk off stress at lunch with a set of Bluetooth earbuds.
- Wellness programs are good for the bottom line, not just your bottom! Many group insurance plans offer lower premiums for companies with a structured wellness plan. Give your employees a pedometer or activity tracker to encourage their participation.
- Today is National Wear Red Day and many of my friends are encouraging others via social media to wear red in support women battling heart disease and stroke. A simple way to show support as a group for awareness days is to purchase assorted stock ribbon colors of instant embroidery ribbons. NC manufacturer, Suntex has a huge collection of colors and will create custom ribbons; be ready for any awareness date this year. Peel and stick for the day on your apparel and then apply to another surface in your work space for the remainder of the year to serve as a reminder to love your heart!
