Employee Wellness

Provide some statistics about employee wellness (i.e. those that are involved in wellness have increased attendance/engagement, lower cost on benefits, etc.). There would be readings, videos and discussion boards that lead up to the synchronous class (online or f2f - would be recorded) in which students would learn about various wellness programs/ideas (and participate in some - i.e. chair yoga, mindfulness, nutrition 101) and discuss how they could be incorporated into their workplaces (i.e. lunch and learn session, online training, after/before work workshops). Students would then implement one idea into their workplace by the end of the course, and share their reflections (either online/written or verbal discussion). Learning Outcomes: 1. Learners will be able to describe why employee wellness matters and be able to list various employee wellness ideas for the workplace. 2. Learners will implement one employee wellness idea. Total class hours - 4.
