  Well Workplace is a strategic process to create an organizational culture that encourages and supports employee health. Established in 1991 by the Wellness Councils of America, Well Workplace standards are progressive, from providing a foundation for organizational change and lifestyle improvement at the Bronze level, to achieving program integration and cultural change at the Gold level. A worksite health promotion program is much more than on-site aerobic classes and lunch-n-learns on low fat cooking. While activities to increase awareness and educate employees are important, providing a supportive environment is crucial to sustaining lifestyle behavior change. Well Workplace focuses on efforts to change the workplace culture through management support, data collection, establishing goals and objectives, evaluating, developing supportive policies, requesting employee feedback, corporate involvement in the community and appropriate programming for increasing awareness, educating and changing behaviors. For more information or to download an application for Well Workplace please visit the WELCOA website. Why Should Your Organization Participate?
