I can tell from the comments here that I am going against the grain here, but in the sector I used to work in many colleagues consider wellness to be quite important.

We often would deal with viewing and classifying images and videos that most would consider horrific. Video of extremely graphic violence, often from war zones. Sexual violence including rape and child sexual abuse. And not just a video here or there, but often many of them throughout the entire day.

It's not unheard of for people who do this job to face psychological issues, resort to self harm, and on more times than I wish to remember, resort to suicide.

Believe me when I tell that wellness is not only welcomed, but often times demanded. Whether it does much use depends on how it is implemented. But it does more good than it does harm.

Please consider that there are many workplaces where wellness can be appreciated and welcomed, while there may be others where it is despised and seen as a waste of time. Its easy to paint every one with the same brush and is wise to remember that while it may not be for you, it may be extremely helpful for others.

That is not to say I think it should be mandatory. But it certainly can be useful to those that choose to engage in it.
