WORKSITE WELLNESS
INTRODUCTION
Over the last three years, the focus of the Worksite Wellness Strategy was to
support the use of evidenced-based employee health promotion/wellness
programs to promote healthy behaviors.
This group, led by the Polk Wellness Professionals (PWP), has worked to increase
wellness programming in the workplace.
PWP’s objective was to increase by 5% the number of worksites that offer an
employee health promotion/wellness program to their employees by October
30, 2015. In addition, the objective was to increase the total number of wellness
programs offered throughout all businesses in Polk.
