What Employers Can Do

There is sound professional business and health literature documenting the value of worksite health promotion and disease prevention in support of employee health and company performance. Worksites represent an excellent opportunity to deliver health promotion initiatives that improve employee health, reduce health care utilization, and increase productivity.

The Good Work! Resource Kit was created for use by wellness teams, human resources professionals, and other personnel interested in developing low-cost ways to support employee health and productivity. The kit was developed through a pilot project involving 35 Maine employers of all sizes, located from Fort Kent to North Berwick. Good Work! provides information on the link between a healthy worksite and the bottom line, key elements of successful worksite programs, specific low or no-cost strategies from a variety of Maine employers, and resources to support worksite wellness initiatives.

Good Work! Resource Kit

We also have a Good Work! brochure that describes the contents of the Good Work! Resource Kit and how it can be used.
