Weight Watchers At Work
The Weight Watchers At Work Meeting Program is a Weight Watchers program that is specially designed to meet the needs of working men and women. Trained instructors lead a series of weekly meetings at the worksite on the employee's own time. Convenience and support from co-workers contribute to the success of this program.
Policies
Washington Wellness has worked with King County in a release of risk and liability contract with Weight Watchers. Agencies and higher education institutions who would like to arrange for Weight Watchers At Work onsite are covered in this contract. Each organization may want to want to refer to their own agency wellness policy or state policies that pertain to employee time and use of state property.
Implementation
State agencies and higher education institutions determine how to do a Weight Watchers At Work Program. Important considerations include: management approval; weekly meeting space; participant recruitment; and a contact for the Weight Watchers leader. Assigning a program coordinator to carry out the implementation can help assure a successful program. The program coordinator does NOT need to be the wellness coordinator.
