NBCH Contributes to 7-Step Guide to Starting an Employee Wellness Program

The Change Agent Work Group (CAWG) recently published a seven-step guide to starting an employee wellness program. As global competition continues to rise, employers are increasingly finding the importance in a healthy and productive work force. Employees’ health has both a direct and indirect impact on an employer’s bottom line, and to battle these costs, more employers are focusing on wellness programs, according to CAWG.

NBCH's President and CEO, Andy Webber, is a member of the CAWG, whose mission is to identify high impact policies, principles and strategies that will accelerate improvement in workforce health status, productivity, and quality of life; harmonize the divergent messages with a common language and definitions to make the information more actionable; and communicate the work product to those seeking guidance on improving the health status and productivity of their workforce.
