Promoting wellness in the workplace!


Today was the first normal day back to work, because for the past week many many things have been popping up. Last weekend ETC participated as a team in the Relay For Life, and all last week myself, Adam, and Recuriter Rachel were contacting businesses for donations, as well as making gift baskets for the raffle. Earlier this week, myself and the other interns were preparing for our company- wideUniversal Training Presentations that took place on Wednesday July 14th and Thursday July 15th.


We chose the topic of Wellness in the Workplace: How To Manage Stress, Improve Nutrition and Diet, and Implementing Exercise throughout your day. Our main goal to our project was to express to ETC employees that living a healthy lifestyle can be very easy and practical. We prepared a powerpoint, gave a stress test, made a short video about Do's and Dont's to be healthy in the workplace, as well as provided the employees with maps of close metroparks, and a calendar of designated days to "Choose Fruit, not Coffee", "Meet a new Co-Worker", etc. 8 presentations in 2 days! It definately flew by! I cannot believe what we were kind of anxious for passed so fast, and very smoothly. The 6 of us worked together very, very well, all bringing something different to the presentations. Our personalities are all so different from eachother, but truly fit together very well! I think we did a fantastic job, and I believe the employees also agree!
