Working on Wellness Board

Located in the atrium on the wall leading to the cafeteria, the WOW board contains health-related information, employee feedback forms, newsletters, information on upcoming events, etc. The board is updated on a regular basis and is a great resource.

Employee Feedback

Employees are encouraged to give their feedback to their WOW Committee members. Located on the Wellness Board are employee feedback forms, which can be filled out at any time and forwarded to the designated WOW committee member. The WOW Committee will periodically review these suggestions, and incorporate the recommendations where possible. Your participation in these surveys is appreciated.
