Worksite Wellness
Wellness can be defined as being aware of and actively working towards better health. MercyOne Siouxland Occupational Health can help your company with a planned approach for a comprehensive results-oriented program that will meet your employees' needs and impact your company's bottom line.
Why should you initiate a worksite wellness program? Frankly, you can't afford not to. Here's why:
- Health care costs continue to rise
- Leading causes of illness can be avoided
- Increasing diversity in the workforce
- Workweek expansion

3. Collecting Data to Drive Health Efforts
4. Carefully Crafting an Operating Plan
5. Choosing Appropriate Interventions
6. Creating Supportive Environments
7. Consistently Evaluating Outcomes
