How do we choose which vendors to include in the wellness fair?
While most vendors are excellent for all employees, there are some vendors available for companies with a specific demographic. for instance, if your corporation has a lot of pregnant women or women of child bearing age, it might be a good idea to have a vendor namely talking about prenatal care.
If there are a lot of smokers at your corporation, you might want to have the American Lung Association present. Attempt to choose providers that meet your employees’ needs. Do not forget that hosting a corporate wellness fair is meant to be beneficial to them.

Not only does hosting a corporate wellness fair promote health, it also builds friendship between peers, improving team building and communication in the office. It is a win-win for both the business and the employee!
