Why This Measure Matters​

There is credible data showing that participation in well-designed wellness initiatives can lead to improved health behaviors and satisfaction, lower absenteeism, and in some cases lower healthcare costs and positive returns on investment. But the key for success is adequate participation, and measured over time. It’s not guaranteed simply by having a wellness program.

What’s the Story?​

The Wellness Committee has continued to provide opportunities for staff to participate in activities to encourage healthy living, eating, and exercise. Participation has improved in 2026, compared to 2025, due to the committee's successful advertisement and diversity of options for employees to join.
