 “[Workplace] Wellness programs are effective because they are readily accessible and goal oriented. We understand that people lead busy lives and often, personal care is the last thing on their ‘to-do’ list. By bringing wellness to their place of work, we provide an opportunity for that goal to become more realistic.”

Chief Executive Officer
Leamington District Memorial Hospital

 “I’m very appreciative of what they [Windsor-Essex County Health Unit] have provided because first of all, it is cost-effective, it’s not expensive, but you get very good expert advice and very good consultation, and it’s very tailor-designed to the organization’s needs. So, I think that the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit program stands just as good, if not better, than any program.”

PAULINE RUSSELL

Human Resources Officer

 “Any company, no matter the size or composition, would benefit from the implementation of a workplace health program similar to the Windsor Essex County Health Unit’s Working Toward Wellness Program. Whether you are working in a physically labour intensive job, subject to the elements on a daily basis, or whether there are positions that are considered office jobs, but may have inherent elements, such as high workloads, stressful deadlines, etc. workplace programs will help address these issues.”

DAN PELLETIER

Chief Executive Officer
Windsor Essex County Family YMCA

 “We [YMCA] like working with the Workplace Health Promotion Team because they have expertise that we don’t necessarily have, they are health enhancement professionals, they are available in the community, and it’s great for organizations such as the YMCA to be able to take advantage of their expertise in some of the programs that we are running in the community.”

 “Lifestyle changes, most of the time, need encouragement from a lot of different areas so having your family involved as well as seniors makes a lot of sense.”
