Welcome to the Wellness Program
Dubbed as Promoting Optimal Wellness for Employee Rewards (P.O.W.E.R.), the goal of the Wellness Program is to promote employee well-being through services and programs that relate to the six dimensions of wellness: social, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, environmental, and physical.
Wellness is a way of life aimed at reducing the risk of serious lifestyle-related diseases.
