Worksite Wellness is an initiative to make it easier for employees and those who visit CCE to learn about and engage in healthier choices. Our Board of Directors and Executive Director support our initiative and encourage participation. We established a Worksite Wellness Committee to address issues where changes could be made easily, and over time we've added more components to our Worksite Wellness program.
We began simply with a Healthy Snack Basket full of inexpensive, tasty and popular healthy snacks, such as apples, raisins, pretzels, and 100-calorie packets of crackers. Payment was on the honor system (a coffee can set next to the basket). We've come a long way – now providing a full-size “Healthy Vend” machine that dispenses literally everything from soup to nuts!
Here are components of our Worksite Wellness program:
Healthy Vending Machine - A self run machine that includes seasonal items that are healthier options or reduced portion sizes. (ie Yogurt, dried fruit, nuts, tuna fish, etc.)
Suggestion Box - This is an anonymous venue to express ideas for items for the vending machine as well as initiatives that should be pursued by CCE (ie changing tables in bathrooms, water filters on faucets, etc.)
Seasonal Fruit Basket - When available, fresh, local fruits are provided on the table on the honor system…
