Background:
Wellness programs traditionally focus on achieving outcomes such as health improvement, lowered health risks, decreased absenteeism, improved morale and decreased health care costs. Many programs emphasize physical wellness with more recent inclusion of social, emotional, and environmental dimensions. That change is referenced as the migration of wellness programs into well-being efforts.
Objective:
Addressing all elements of well-being is critical for effective wellness program delivery.
Design:
Recognition of the positive impact related to community well-being is growing in the literature. When people connect with others at work and develop positive and effective relationships across boundaries, a culture of health grows within organizations.
Results And Conclusions:
This paper reviews three community well-being initiatives implemented within one university worksite and describes the effectiveness of such programs in building community well-being.
