Wellness
Committees:
Best Practices and
Proven Strategies for Success
Manasquan, NJ -- June 8,
2007: Workplace
wellness committees are one of the most important elements of a
successful workplace health promotion program, according to the results
of a workplace wellness management survey conducted by Wellness
Program Management Advisor and WellnessJunction.com.
"We believe it’s important
to know what people
outside the wellness department are thinking and feeling," one wellness
manager noted. "We think we know, but the wellness
committee often brings other issues to our attention. It’s a
good idea to have many minds that are generating ideas.
That’s a valuable service."
"The feedback the committee members
provide is
invaluable," said another respondent. They not only bring innovative
ideas but also assist with health promotion marketing efforts,
volunteer at health fairs and participate in membership drives.
