Executive Director of Human Resources, Utah State University
“Wellness at USU; the Vision, the Implementation, and Lessons Learned”
BrandE Faupell will discuss Utah State University’s process of creating a wellness program… the baseline before the program, barriers faced and the challenges of getting agreement on exactly what to include (and what not to include) as well aso one major hurdle – agreement on a definition of what wellness IS.
Participants will be able to:
- Describe one organization’s business case and process of creating a wellness program
- Identify issues to address, i.e.: which services to include and whether or not to outsource
- Describe both potential medical benefits for employees and less-tangible, psychological benefits
- List considerations your own organization needs to address in creating or modifying its wellness program
