Work Well.

  • We support and encourage work sites to implement changes that will create a healthier work environment. 
Work Well/Live Well is affiliated with Work Well Kansas — a statewide worksite initiative that provides leadership and resources for businesses and organizations to support worksite health.
STEPS TOWARDS WORKSITE WELLNESS
  • ​Obtain support from management
  • ​Consider WorkWell KS and/or CDC Work Place Health Promotion programs as resources.
  • Form a wellness committee with representatives from each department and shift, if applicable.
  • Contact the employer's insurance provider - identify worksite wellness programs, preventative and disease management services included in your policy.  Your insurance provider may offer on-site health and wellness education, tobacco cessation, employee fitness center discounts, and many other services.
  • Administer an employee interest survey.
  • Develop communication strategies to engage employees in health and wellness activities.
  • Perform annual wellness screenings that include mental and physical health.
  • Promote policies towards tobacco cessation, physical activity, nutritious foods and stress reduction.
  • Identify and establish changes in the workplace environment that will promote tobacco cessation, physical activity, access to nutritious foods, and stress reduction.
  • Identify and establish incentives that promote employee engagement in health and wellness activities and programs.
  • Initiate workplace health and wellness activities and programs.
