Wellness at Work, Thanks to Students

I love the idea of companies starting wellness programs for their employees. The trouble is, companies are often too busy to get a wellness program off the ground. Enter some enterprising students and see what happens next!

At the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, students can take a “Wellness in the Work World” class which has them “actively assisting several business and community organizations with wellness projects.” Students work with each individual business to find out their specific needs when it comes to wellness. For example, one student may help organize a health fair, while another may get an exercise program off the ground for a separate business.

What a great way to get students involved in the work world while also helping businesses create positive programs for their employees.
