Regional Workshops on the 

Wisconsin Worksite Wellness Resource Kit

The purpose of the regional workshops is to encourage Wisconsin worksites to implement wellness programs as part of the vision to become one of the healthiest states in the country. The workshops focus on the practical application of the Wisconsin Worksite Wellness Resource Kit. The kit is a tool designed to assist worksites with implementing strategies that have been proven to be effective and walks you through the process of developing a worksite wellness program or expanding an existing wellness program.
