Why Worklife Wellness?

Worklife Wellness has been proven to have a substantial impact on healthcare costs, absenteeism, workers compensation costs, and productivity. Wellness is designed to help employers educate employees about health, empower them to take control of their health decision-making, change negative health behavior, and evaluate the improvement of employee well-being over time. According to Partnership for Prevention,  A Call to Action: Leading by Example, “Business leaders have come to fully realize that health is a cost and performance driver.  Investing in health not only controls expenses, but also protects, supports, and enhances human capital.  It is fundamental to a healthier bottom line.”

Montana’s Wellness Mission:
The Montana Worklife Wellness Coalition, formed in 2004, promotes improved health for Montanans by working with Montana businesses.  The bronze, silver and gold awards were created as a way to recognize employers who offer worksite wellness services.
