SureHire explains wellness council
Workforce engagement is essential to the success of a workplace health promotion program. A wellness counsel, or committee, operates as an information and feedback resource for health program managers and also as a promotional force for the program. In order to maximize peer input and contact, the council should include members from management and workers from several different departments as well as different job levels within the workforce. Wellness council members will often act as leaders in promoting health goals within their own divisions and throughout the workplace.
