Dear Trying 鈥撎齌he first step to supporting your employees in managing their health and wellness is knowing what opportunities exist. WorkWell's CU鈥檚 employee wellness program, which strives to advance a culture of whole-person wellness for university faculty and staff. Rather than just encouraging employees to seek out programs or services, try bringing wellness directly to them.听听
