Creating a Well-Workplace: A Partnership between the Employer and Employees
 
Every employer wants healthy, happy employees: employees that are more productive, use health insurance appropriately, take less time sick time, and feel good about themselves and their work. While the "bottom line" responsibility for taking care of health rests with the employee, the employer makes a choice: to support employee wellness through implementing policy changes within the company and through starting an onsite wellness program.
 
You can create a workplace that encourages a healthy lifestyle and helps employees acquire and maintain positive health habits. Participation in a worksite wellness program can improve an employee’s health, outlook and physical and mental capacity to be more productive at work.
 
The Center for Well-Being can help your company create an environment that supports wellness. We can:
Provide a complete package of wellness programs on-site, custom tailored to your workforce,
Review your physical setting, policies, and formal and informal culture, and recommend ways to make your company more wellness-friendly,
Help you implement a program that your employees feel "ownership" of and will participate in.
 
"Bottom-line" Benefits:
Improve productivity
Reduce sick leave/absenteeism
Reduce use of health benefits
Reduce worker's comp claims
Reduce unintentional injury
Lower turnover (reduces high costs of recruitment and training)
 
More difficult to measure, but equally important:
Improve employee morale: show your employees you care
Increase employee loyalty: attract and retain health minded employees
Reduce organizational stress/tension/friction to maximize productivity
Improve employee decision making
 
Will wellness work for your company? It's up to you!
