Description
The Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce, Partner SHIP 4 Health and local businesses will host a community wide town meeting regarding the value of worksite wellness at 11:30 am– 1:00 pm., Wednesday, September 16 at the Speak Easy.
The event is one of a series of town meetings in high achieving communities to showcase best practices for wellness that can be used by other Minnesota communities.
The series is sponsored by the Alliance for a Healthier Minnesota® and Minnesota Department of Health Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) and the network of SHIP grantees to help build and sustain productive relationships with employers statewide regarding worksite and community wellness.
These events ...recognize that employers all across Minnesota – particularly smaller employers are beginning to recognize the value of worksite wellness. They are looking for community allies to help identify effective ways to conceive programs/policies, to engage employees, to sustain effectiveness, and to measure results. These events will identify a variety of best practices that can be adapted by these employers.
Panelists from local businesses will be on hand to share their experiences and include representatives from Midwest Bank (LaVerne Moltzan), Ecumen (Sandy Lia), and Essentia (Marsha Parker and Jackie Buboltz).
From these events, the Alliance will develop a toolkit of relevant success narratives that show employers how to achieve success in conceiving, managing, and assessing long-term success in worksite wellness – from their perspective.
This lunch event is free and open to the business community, chamber members and other interested parties
