Success Stories
Worksite wellness efforts have been underway in some organizations for many years, while others are just starting. Committees have shown an interest in learning from each other and sharing their experiences. As we hear about successful interventions, we will showcase the achievements of state agencies, universities, colleges, and individual employees. Relevant national examples will also be highlighted.

Have you hosted a successful activity, participated in a worksite wellness program, changed agency policies or made your physical work environment more supportive of employee health? Help others learn from your experience!
We are seeking wellness program stories of success! Additionally, we are asking individuals who have had positive experiences with worksite wellness, such as a group cooking class or access to more healthy vending machine options, to describe their experience. We encourage committees to submit your own stories and seek success stories from your members.
