Worksite Wellness
Create a wellness program for your worksite.
U.S. employees spend an average of 50 hours a week at work. Since we spend the majority of our waking hours at work, worksites have a great opportunity to impact their employees’ health by creating an environment that supports healthy habits.
In line with the Plan’s goal to help members lead healthier lives, we provide worksite wellness supports for state agencies, universities, community colleges, and public schools. Worksite wellness efforts have been shown to improve employees’ health, safety, and job satisfaction.
The Plan works to help members adopt healthier lifestyle habits – including healthy eating, physical activity, stress management, and tobacco cessation. We also strive to help members with health conditions better manage their health. We encourage members to participate in their worksites’ wellness programs.
