EMBRACING NATIONAL WELLNESS MONTH: UNDERSTANDING THE DIMENSIONS OF WELLNESS
August is National Wellness Month, a time to prioritize self-care, reduce stress, and develop healthier habits. At Elliott Equipment Company, we believe that wellness is integral to both our personal lives and our professional environment.
As we celebrate this month, it’s important to recognize the eight dimensions of wellness and how they impact our overall well-being:
Physical Wellness: This includes participating in physical activity, consuming healthy foods, and getting adequate sleep. It also involves preventing illness and injury and managing chronic health conditions. Safety is one of our core values at Elliott! Ensuring a safe workplace and providing solutions that prioritize safety is essential to us.
Emotional Wellness: This dimension involves coping effectively with life and adapting to change and challenges. Emotional resilience allows us to face difficulties with a positive mindset.
Social Wellness: Developing a sense of connection and belonging with others and enjoying freedom of personal expression are key to social wellness. At Elliott, our culture is very important to us. We operate with integrity, in a dynamic environment based on trust, teamwork, mutual respect, and fun.
Intellectual Wellness: Recognizing one’s abilities and finding ways to expand knowledge and skills is crucial. We encourage continuous learning and professional development to ensure our team members are always growing and improving.
Environmental Wellness: This involves active participation in recycling and proper disposal of goods, using sustainable products, and conserving energy and resources. At Elliott, we are committed to positioning the business for long-term, profitable growth and financial stability. We strive to minimize our environmental footprint and promote sustainability in our operations.
Spiritual Wellness: Having a sense of purpose and meaning in life contributes to spiritual wellness. Reflecting on our values and actions can help us align with a greater purpose.
Occupational Wellness: Gaining enrichment or satisfaction from one’s work is vital. At Elliott, we believe in creating an environment where our employees feel valued and can find joy and satisfaction in their roles.
Financial Wellness: Being satisfied with current and future financial situations and possessing the knowledge and skills to plan and manage expenses are key aspects of financial wellness.
As we reflect on these dimensions, I encourage each of you to take a moment to assess your own wellness journey. In which areas do you excel? Which areas may need more nurturing?
By focusing on these dimensions, we can create a healthier, more balanced life both at work and at home.

ELLIOTT IN THE WILD!
Repost from: Tom Flaherty of Flaherty Equipment Corporation
Spent my Friday afternoon doing a pre-delivery inspection of this brand-new Elliott 30105F. Our customers love the rotating stand-up operator’s platform that allows 372-degree rotation.
This feature definitely prevents operators from complaining about picks over the front or far side. We also receive compliments on the easy-to-access 24-foot bed. Being able to step off the controls directly onto the deck to rig a load is much safer than with traditional boom trucks, where you have to climb up and around the controls to access the bed.
