Wellness Programs

Worksite/Corporate Wellness Nutrition Services

We have developed and implemented a corporate wellness program for a Fortune 500 company. With a goal of increasing motivation and promoting health among an at-risk group of employees, we provided one-on-one nutrition counseling via phone, which was tailored to client's areas of interest to support weight reduction and healthful lifestyle change. We provided consultant services to build health-promoting work environments. These services include food service audits, newsletters, recipes, nutrition resource lists, and recommendations upon request on a variety of wellness issues.

We are using innovative techniques to promote new approaches to worksite wellness and workstation design through our work on a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health-funded grant. Targeting office employees, our group interventions are interactive and designed to flow with the participants' needs and interests. The non-intervention group follows the same topics in a thought-provoking newsletter.

Backed by practical as well as clinical experience, we offer the following worksite wellness services.

Workplace Consultation Services

Employees who work in an environment that supports a healthly lifestyle are more likely to adopt healthful behaviors that positively impact corporate well-being. If a business or organization is interseted, we can provide worksite service such as:

Initial workplace wellness evaluation (i.e. food service operations, vending, existing wellness resources)
Recommendations for workplace enhancement
Implementation of requested services, which may include classes or counseling

Nutrition Classes

Each session focuses on cutting-edge information combined with "real life" application. Interactive discussions, food demonstrations and motivation enhancements are features of these classes. Classes are conducted on-site at convenient times for employees. Companies can choose to offer individual classes or opt to offer a class series where each class builds upon the next. Class topics include:

Risk factor management
Weight management
Translating nutrition recommendations into real life

One-on-One Nutrition Counseling Services

A registered dietitian works with employees to provide information, resources and support needed to make long-term changes in eating patterns. This is an individualized program designed to be tailored to each employee's unique needs and interests. Arrangements can be made to provide on-site dietitian services in half-day or whole-day blocks. Telephonic counseling services can also be provided.
