Investing in Community Health: Envolve’s Wellness Program 

Envolve has established itself as a beacon of hope and support in communities across Alabama and nationwide. As a vertically integrated multifamily real estate company, it ventures beyond its immediate scope of management, ownership, and investment through beneficial programs.

One of its instrumental programs, known as Envolve Wellness, was set in motion during the isolating days of the COVID-19 pandemic. It aimed to enhance health and well-being among over 1,000 employees and more than 100,000 residents. This initiative is built upon Envolve’s firm belief in “Making Communities Better Together.”

Crystal Canerdy, the Vice President of Training & Marketing at Envolve, talked about their mission, emphasizing that Envolve genuinely cares about its residents, team members, and the broader community. They strive to embody their tagline each day. The Wellness program is a testament to this dedication, with its weekly educational programming, communication, and events throughout the year promoting good health, nutrition, and active competition among participants.

The wellness program is a free resource providing continuous support in the health journeys of their community members. Each week, residents and employees receive healthy eating recipes and participate in Q&A sessions with the Wellness Coach, Travis Hill, giving them the opportunity to ask questions and get personalized responses. The program also offers engaging workout videos and tips that coordinate with the current theme, promoting physical, social, and emotional wellbeing.

One standout feature of Envolve’s wellness program is a live event, Wellness on Tour. This event encourages active participation and community engagement. One recent event in Prattville, Alabama involved nutritional shots, exercise workouts, cooling-down yoga sessions, and a live demonstration of meal prepping, followed by a scrumptious dinner.

Guidance by Travis emphasizes that appropriate planning and effective time management are essential for optimizing wellness. Preparation and utilizing any free moments they get are thus, key to achieving overall health goals. The Prattville event taught participants how to make nutritious meals that could last for the entire week, enabling them to easily replicate these methods at home.

Envolve is committed to providing practical tips for integrating into everyday life. They include meal prepping to stay on track with healthier choices, avoiding long periods of sedentariness for improved circulation and posture, and education on ideal foods for energy and optimal workout durations.

With over 300 properties in 22 states, Envolve goes beyond providing quality housing; they focus on enriching the lives of the residents through initiatives. They believe that a thriving community is a healthy one. Their investment in programs such as the wellness initiative shows this. As Erin Jewell, Marketing & Communications Manager at Envolve said, partnering with the community through the Get Envolved Foundation is crucial to their mission.” The Foundation supports local organizations, ensuring the wellness program’s benefits reach further.

In conclusion, Envolve’s Wellness Program is an example setter, demonstrating how organizations can tangibly impact their communities. By providing resources and recognizing community engagement, the program is making strides towards healthier, happier communities across Alabama and beyond. As it continues to grow, it will certainly inspire more individuals to prioritize health and wellness.
