Cheryl Miller and Paul Sandberg write a great case study about how they created a network of wellness champions across state government agencies in Kansas.
“With 46,000 employees spread across 250 state agencies in the state of Kansas, we rely heavily on our wellness champions to get the word out about our health and wellness program. Wellness champions are employees with a personal interest in health and wellness who are willing to help you promote your wellness initiatives within their group, department or location.”
“Locating these people can be challenging, especially since many good candidates for such a role don’t see themselves as a leader in wellness for various reasons. They could be afraid to step forward because they are overweight, out of shape, have a chronic condition or feel they don’t know enough about wellness.”
“We always tell employees that they don’t have to be a fitness guru or be a picture of health. At the State of Kansas, we look for people who are passionate about wellness, committed to building a culture of health and who have a sincere desire to make positive changes in the culture.”
