Year: 2021

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the County adapted to the new needs of a largely remote workforce by using technology to deliver various components of the Employee Wellness Program. The Lunch & Learn classes, cooking demonstrations, fitness classes, meditation sessions, Thrive-5 (Healthy Weight Management Program) and the discount produce program (Farmers Market) were all shifted to a virtual platform.The opportunity to change, enhance and expand offerings in the Virtual Employee Wellness Program during these unprecedented times has allowed us to identify the needs of the County’s workforce and develop customized strategies. The changes resulted in a significant increase in employee participation.
