Creating a culture of wellbeing where employees feel holistically supported by their employer helps them to be more engaged and productive, leading to greater retention and recruitment of talent. An effective wellness committee can help organizations build a sustainable workplace wellbeing program.
A wellness committee is a representative group of employees who work together to support an organization’s wellbeing program. They work with a designated wellness coordinator to develop, implement and evaluate the organization’s wellbeing program. A wellness committee gives the program credibility and energy, as well as provides stability, lightens the workload, and broadens the reach.
If your employer groups want help developing an effective wellness committee to support their workplace wellbeing program, contact an Excellus BlueCross BlueShield Wellbeing Consultant or Account Manager.
