best practices: physical activity in the workplace
DESCRIPTION
Thank you to all who participated in the April 17, 2012 meeting, Best Practices in Physical Activity and to our guest speakers, Karen Kelly, RN, Director of Health and Wellness at Borislow Insurance, and Linda Vacovec A.C.E.- Plus One Health Management. When introducing a physical activity program as part of a worksite wellness program, it isn't uncommon to face challenges with program selection, maintaining employee engagement, and building physical activity into the everyday workplace culture. Karen and Linda shared their best practices and success stories on mastering these basics.TRANSCRIPT
