Founding Members | Charter | Meeting Docs
In early 2015, representatives from local employers with active or budding worksite wellness programs met to form the Tompkins County Worksite Wellness Coalition.
The Coalition’s mission is, “To act as a resource for Tompkins County employers regarding the art and science of health promotion and wellness.” It promotes wellness programs and healthy living as an added value that improves workplace culture.
The value of a workplace culture that supports healthy lifestyles is widely recognized, and worksite wellness programs can promote such a culture. However, finding the time and resources to coordinate a wellness program can be daunting, especially for sites with fewer than 50 employees.
The Coalition gives worksite wellness advocates and coordinators a place to share the ideas, resources, and best practices necessary to build and sustain programs that engage employees. For employers who are unfamiliar with worksite wellness, the Coalition will be a resource for start-up programs.
The Tompkins County Worksite Wellness Coalition meets four to six times a year, with a mixture of presentations and networking opportunities. The Coalition is staffed by the Health Promotion Program at the Tompkins County Health Department and the Human Services Coalition of Tompkins County.
For more information about the Coalition or to be notified about its open meetings, please click here to send an email, or call Ted at (607) 274-6712.
