Worksites

The Physical Activity and Nutrition Branch received American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding in 2009 to implement evidence-based strategies that promote healthy lifestyles through comprehensive worksite wellness.

There are three main elements to this worksite wellness initiative.

• Convening a Worksite Wellness Collaborative that engages state-level decision makers and recommends an assessment tool to measure the impact of worksite wellness on employee health.
• Engaging local businesses and community leaders in educational opportunities that support worksite wellness.
• Developing tools and resources to assist businesses in implementing comprehensive worksite wellness programs.

Below you can find some of the tools the PAN Branch has created to support comprehensive worksite wellness:

• Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less - a weight management program
• Saving Dollars, Making Sense Management Guide
• NC HealthSmart Worksite Wellness Toolkit
• Businesses Leading the Way Supporting Breastfeeding
• Bring Fresh Product to Your Setting
• Physical Activity and Healthy Eating Policy
