What is Wellness?
Worksite Wellness can be defined as "an organized program in the worksite that is
intended to assist employees and their family members in making voluntary behavior
changes that reduce their health risk and enhance their individual productivity
and well-being."
Wellness is an active, lifelong process
of becoming aware of choices and making decisions toward a more balanced and fulfilling
life. This process can lead to a healthier state of well-being that allows individuals
and communities to thrive.
