Healthy County Boot Camp Offers Essential Wellness Training
Wellness programs are known to increase productivity, morale and loyalty to a worksite. Counties that participate in Healthy County programs offer their county an opportunity to not only experience these benefits, but also decreased rates of absenteeism and reduced health care and workers’ compensation claims.
Every county is unique and each local wellness program reflects the county's special qualities. In the same way, fitness boot camps are tailored to everyone’s fitness level, professional or beginner. By uniting county wellness coordinators and sponsors together, you can learn new ways to incorporate best practices and learn fresh techniques to shape up your wellness programs for every fitness level.
Please join us in February to hear from leading industry experts and peers that will provide information, tools and resources that can be used to help employees lead healthy lives. Let’s work together to promote Healthy County programs and help employees reach their health goals.
