LAS VEGAS--Building your own workplace wellness program takes work--and time--but it's worth it. "It's an investment we need to make," Jennifer Bartlett, HR director at Griffin Communication, told a group of benefits managers during a session at the Human Resource Executive Health and Benefits Leadership Conference. "We want [employees] to be healthy and happy, and if they're healthy and happy they'll be more productive." Bartlett shared her experiences building, and (continually) tweaking, a wellness program at her company--a multimedia company running TV outlets across Oklahoma --over the last seven years. "If there was a contest or challenge we've done it," she said, noting there have been some failed ventures. "We got into wellness because we wanted to reduce health costs, but that's not why we do it today," she said. "We do it today because employees like it and it increases morale and engagement."
