What is the Wellness Council of Indiana?
The Wellness Council of Indiana is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to promoting healthier lifestyles for all citizens of Indiana through health promotion activities at the worksite. Organized in 1988, The Wellness Council of Indiana brings together Indiana employers interested in combating the ever increasing cost of health care benefits by helping employees, their families and their communities achieve and maintain a state of good health.
It makes no difference whether you have five employees or five thousand, the relative impact is the same. Employees spend one third of their waking hours at work, so the workplace offers a logical opportunity to provide employees with information, encouragement and support for making life style changes that will result in better overall health and well being. This not only provides the opportunity to reduce health care costs, but also has proven to reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, improve employee morale and energize corporate culture.
The Wellness Council of Indiana serves as the clearinghouse and resource center on corporate health promotion for Indiana. We assist our members by providing the tools to make their wellness programs grow. If you do not currently provide health promotion programs at your worksite we can provide you with the information to assist you in getting started the correct way. If you already have a wellness program, we can help tell your story and help your company or organization gain well deserved recognition as a Healthy Indiana Business in your community and the State of Indiana. We are the only statewide not for profit organization exclusively dedicated to worksite wellness programs in cooperation with employers, providers and communities.
Today, we recognize the importance of partnerships to help our members gain a competitive advantage by sustaining a healthy competitive workforce. We also recognize the power of recognition programs for our Hoosier employers. Hence, we offer employers the opportunity to earn Three Star, Four Star and Five Star Wellness Awards”.
The Wellness Council of Indiana believes that the quality of life of any community is measured, to a large degree, by the health of its people. It is our vision to make Indiana a model State by improving the quality of life of its employees and at the same time improve the competitiveness of their workplace in a global economy. We invite you to join the Wellness Council of Indiana and help us make Indiana one of the healthiest States in the nation, and at the same time, make your workplace one of the healthiest in your community.
