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.

Submit a Success Story!
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.

To share a committee or an individual success story, please send us an e-mail with your agency, college, public university or public school name, your contact information and a brief description of your program or individual experience.
