On The Job With Bree Schwaller

What’s one program you can implement that can enhance the long-term health of employees, improve morale and help control medical costs?

EMC Environmental Health Specialist Bree Schwaller has the answer—a work site wellness program. Bree works with EMC policyholders to identify the wellness needs of employees, develop on-site health promotion programs and train wellness program site coordinators.

Effective wellness programs can range from distributing educational materials and hosting health screenings to creating incentive programs that encourage changes in specific health behaviors. “By adopting healthier lifestyles, employees can decrease their risk factors for chronic disease, which may result in lower healthcare expenses for your organization,” explains Schwaller.

Work site wellness programs complement other loss control activities and return to work programs in making your organization a safer and healthier place in which to work. Learn more.
