The Healthy Library: Creating a Culture of Wellness
Tuesday, May 19 from 1:00pm - 2:30pm
Imagine your library as a workplace environment with many happy, productive and resilient employees with low absenteeism rates. Envision the enthusiasm of staff members who are enjoying the benefits of a positive, healthy workplace culture. Picture a low-cost program that offers a huge return on investment including excellent employee retention and lower healthcare costs. It sounds wonderful, but what are the considerations and steps to achieve such a scenario?
Please join us as several panelists share their experiences and offer insight into integrating healthy behaviors into the workplace: their vision, approach, outcomes and future plans. In addition, a short presentation will provide guidelines, practical steps and resources to help you get your healthy workplace program up and running!
