My Workplace

While Washington Wellness works to establish statewide healthy vending machine options, healthy catering choices, and programs such as Weight Watchers at Work, every state agency and higher education institution has its own wellness coordinator, its own wellness initiatives and activities, and its own health culture. Washington Wellness encourages wellness coordinators to develop wellness programs that are a "good fit" for their employees. Many agencies and higher education institutions organize activities such as group walks, health fairs, and fitness challenges that support employees in lowering their health risks.
