Comprehensive Worksite Health...is it in my future??

The workshop on Healthy Worksites was held on October 18 at the annual Food and Nutrition Expo and Conference.  Jason Lang, co-presenter,  and a colleague from CDC attended and shared their extensive resources publicly available at the CDC website.  One of the attendees mentioned her AHA moment as she "didn't realize that CDC had so many tools available!" and they were "amazed at the depth of CDC worksite health program resources".  Others listed their key learnings from the workshop as:

• Great resources, suggestions for how to incorporate programming in a variety of ways to keep it fresh
• Realization that I "really can do comprehensive worksite health program"
• Best training in years!!  Realized the importance of approaching it from the employers perspective
• Tremendous opportunity for connections and growth
• Focusing on the 3-5 year timeframe for financial returns; building a champion team with term limits
• Importance of leveraging current organizational culture versus trying to change the entire culture
• Importance of getting out in the community to talk about wellness to get attention of leaders

We look forward to seeing the accomplishments of those who joined us for the workshop!!
