Adding the Magic to Your Wellness Program

If you are looking to get your wellness program noticed in 2019, check out the International Foundation Workplace Wellness Makeover Tool Kit! The interactive PDF provides access to webcasts, articles, blogs and surveys filled with tips, best practices and research aimed at fostering a culture of well-being, driving engagement and impacting organizational performance.

Before jumping into your program’s renovation, consider watching the webcast Why Employees Dislike Wellness Programs and How to Change Their Mind-Set featuring CEO and founder of Wellness Workdays Debra Wein. Debra shares that the number one reason for low participation in wellness programs is lack of awareness followed by employees’ lack of time.
