We all know a healthy environment in the workplace is ideal, but what does that really mean? And just what is "Workplace Wellness" anyway?
Thanks to Saint Paul - Ramsey County Public Health (SPRCPH) and the St. Paul Area Chamber, it has never been easier to get the answers to these questions and more. Our toolkit can give you the answers you need on how to get your workplace wellness committee started. The toolkit is available in English, Spanish, and Hmong. Not sure where to start? Survey your workplace and see what their needs are. Feel free to use this Employee Health Interest Survey template.

Additionally, we recently hosted a virtual info session on January 17. If you missed it - please view the 2023 PPT and recording of the session. You can access the recording with the passcode: 7h17&4WC
