‘Six Dimensions of Wellness’
Please join us for a packed day of worksite wellness best practice sharing, expert presentations, networking, and exhibitors!
Research has shown us that employee health and wellness directly impacts work behavior, morale, attendance and job performance. For mostVermontemployers, the main goal for wellness is to engage employees to improve their own health and wellbeing. Wellness is a long-term commitment to a comprehensive process. Not only do we need to encourage healthy and safe behaviors but for success, we need to create cultures with policies and environments that support healthy behaviors. The workplace requires a coordinated vision balancing between organizational priorities and employee wellbeing.
Our key note speaker, Dr. Bill Hettler, co-founder of the National Wellness Institute (NWI) and is a driving force in health promotion and wellness for more than thirty years. As a pioneer he defined (and defended with zeal) the wellness concept as it emerged. Dr. Hettler will speak on the six dimensions of wellness that help individuals and organizations strive for optimal health.
