Worksite Wellness
The Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Worksite Wellness Committee (WWC) assists employers in Metro Louisville in promoting the health of their employees via worksite wellness programs. The committee works with public and private employers to provide training seminars and small conferences periodically throughout the year, including a series of small, dialogue-driven “roundtable” discussions, based directly on feedback from the annual Worksite Wellness Awards Conference.
Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Worksite Wellness Awards
The Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Worksite Wellness committee was created to assist employers in Metro Louisville in promoting the health of their employees via a worksite wellness program. This is done by offering wellness seminars periodically during the year. The annual Worksite Wellness Awards are an opportunity for Louisville to recognize the successes of these organizations.
The evaluation of applicants will closely follow the criteria established by the Wellness Councils of America’s (WELCOA) Seven Benchmarks of Workplace Wellness Success, which defines those benchmarks that are characteristic of results-oriented programs. To assist with the application, this judging criterion is available to download. We encourage all Worksite Wellness programs to apply regardless of size or scope of program.
