Lifestyle Benefit Programs
…A Challenge for Small Businesses
- Lifestyle benefits are often part of employment packages offered by large companies.
- These benefits, also called “stipends” or “Lifestyle Spending Accounts”, can include anything from gym memberships and music lessons to dog walking services.
- Some companies issue special credit cards to employees with a monthly “allowance” to be used with approved lifestyle service providers. This allows employees to choose from a wide range of services that fit their needs. These benefits are typically around $150 per month, which essentially adds to the employee’s salary.
- Unfortunately, the costs of providing a large array of extra employee benefits and the resources required to manage these typical programs are often beyond the means of small business owners.
The Workforce Wellness Plan
…A New Approach
The Workforce Wellness Plan is designed for small businesses to offer an appealing benefit that is both affordable and highly prized.
- It presents an opportunity for companies to invest in the health of their employees and provides first-rate, superior products that convey to employees that they are valued and deserve the very best.
- If a company is able to provide health insurance for its employees, it will be one of the most important components of a benefits package. That said, traditional health insurance primarily focuses on sick care, whereas this Workforce Wellness Plan is centered on well care—supporting prevention, healthy behaviors, and overall employee well-being.
Here is how it works:
The employer makes a monthly contribution for each employee, at whatever level the employer chooses. The employee spends that amount on the products of their choice at the designated website, and the products are shipped directly to their homes.
Wellness Workx was very intentional about selecting a company and product line for this program. Just as we know consumers want to purchase from companies that give back to their communities, employees are proud to work for companies that align with these values and are generous in their approach to their staff.
The company that Wellness Workx has chosen is the Shaklee Corporation one of the oldest and most respected companies of premium health and wellness products.
Shaklee has a long history of scientific breakthroughs, highest quality standards and affiliations with prestigious universities, as well as major philanthropic programs and environmental contributions including the first company to achieve Climate Neutral status in 2004.
Products include nutritional supplements, natural personal care and environmentally friendly household cleaning products.

- Wellness for their Family
I’m a participant in my employer’s wellness program and appreciate the flexibility it offers
I can use the funds for items like vitamins and other health products that my family and I enjoy.
For instance, we particularly love the Vita-Lea multivitamins, which are packed with essential nutrients—plus, there’s no unpleasant aftertaste like other brands we’ve tried.
Personally, I’m obsessed with the Pomifera Restore: Facial Exfoliant. It’s become my go-to scrub for almost daily use. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed, and despite using it frequently, it’s gentle enough that it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin.

Wellness Workx is a great program for our employees that has been well received.
I see it as a contribution to our employees’ health and well-being.
This progam requires very little time and resources on our part, and I highly recommend it to other small businesses who like us, are looking for ways to add value and recognition towards our work force.

The Wellness Workx program is a great benefit added by my employer

My favorite Shaklee product:
I love the Restore: Facial Exfoliant!
It’s 100% vegan and made with sustainably sourced Pomifera oil, which makes me feel good about using it.
The walnut powder gently removes dead skin cells, making my face brighter, softer and more radiant.
As I age, my skin needs extra care, and this product does just that. It improves hydration and elasticity with viola tricolor, and the Collageneer helps support collagen production, leaving my skin firmer and more youthful.
My complexion feels revitalized! I highly recommend it!

No more “Crickety” ;o)
I have had problems with stiffness in my knee and ankle joints for years. Every morning getting out of bed was difficult, I could barely walk and had to stretch just to get moving. One of the Shaklee products I first tried when we were given this Wellness program was the Joint Health Complex. Literally within a week I had no more pain and no more Crickety (as I had named it!) and this is still the case 6 months later, I am delighted!
I also love the fact that many of the nutrition products come in gummie format as well as in tablets or powders. My favorites are the anti-aging Vivix gummies.

Family Multi-Vitamins!
My 12-year-old has been taking his Kids Meology vitamins for 5 months now. He enjoys the great taste, and each individual packet shows his name and he learns a new “Science Fact” every day.
I have been taking the Vitalizer Women’s Vitamins for over 6 months and am feeling great. I’m giving my body the right assortment of vitamins and will continue to with this multi pack. It’s so convenient to have everything in one easy open pack.

“I feel great from using these products”
I am thrilled that my employer offers me this wellness program through Shaklee.
Not only do I feel great from using these products, but I also feel valued and cared for by my employer for offering me this program.
Shaklee has a wide array of premium and quality products that help me through my everyday routine. In particular, the men’s everyday multivitamins are my favorite. With other men’s multivitamins, I have always experienced a bad taste and indigestion but not with Shaklee.
In addition, my wife also enjoys and can see a noticeable improvement when using the anti-aging creams and serums.

I Love Meology!
As I get older, I realize that I require more supplements and vitamins to maintain good health.
With the massive number of products on the marketplace, figuring out what is best for me has been a daunting task.
I was thrilled to be introduced to Shaklee Meology as it has helped me to narrow down and determine MY nutrition goals…
…..and has created a unique program tailored specifically to me.
Plus the “Hi Jennifer” on each daily packet is a great way to start my day! 😊
