Employee Wellness and Marketing in Land Maintenance

Program: Health and Wellness Management
Host Company: Schmig's Land Maintenance
Location: Afton, Minnesota (onsite)
Student: Lauren Zubert

Created a new employee wellness program for landscape maintenance company to prevent injury and promote healthy lifestyles. Program implementation included new employees added through an acquisition.

Goal:

Health and wellness program planning and development – previously, there was no wellness program for the employees. New employees were added through acquisition which made this a great time to start a program.  The owner agreed to a new wellness program to help employees stay healthy. The program will include a morning stretch routine to prevent injury, nutrition and healthy eating promotion, and a reward system to add an element of competition and fun.
