Wellness Workdays, a leading provider of workplace wellness programs, has been selected by Idaho Forest Group, one of America’s largest lumber producers, to implement a comprehensive wellness program aimed to meet the needs of their 1,500 employees and their spouses. Wellness Workdays will develop strategic initiatives that assess the changing needs and interests of IFG’s population and provide individualized wellness strategies and programming to all employees across Idaho and Mississippi.
Wellness Workdays will implement their four-step outcomes-driven process to create a culture of well-being, while simultaneously meeting the needs of employees at all health risk levels. These unique wellness solutions will prioritize the health and well-being of each employee by including targeted initiatives such as company-wide wellness challenges, onsite biometric screenings, one-on-one and group health coaching, and an integrated technology solution. Topical content will include physical, mental, and behavioral health, chronic disease management, sleep, financial well-being, and resilience. This proven approach is designed to educate participants on how to establish long-lasting changes that will ultimately lead to positive health outcomes.
