Cumberland worksites are taking steps to better health. The Healthier Cumberland Worksite Wellness program utilizes the Worksite Wellness Toolkit developed by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services to help start or strengthen worksite programs that promote healthy lifestyles.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, worksite wellness programs that support employees and the environment they work in have been shown to be a good investment, with returns ranging from 2 to 10 times the expense. Other benefits include:
- Improved over-all fitness and mental alertness
- Higher morale
- Reduced absenteeism
- Healthier, longer lives.
This six step program involves gaining management support, developing a wellness workgroup, assessing the current environment and needs of the employees, setting priorities and developing an action plan, implementing activities, and evaluating your program. Healthier Cumberland will provide assistance and support as you move through this process. Contact us for more information about this program.
