Employee Wellness Guide
At a glance
* School staff can give their best when they feel their best. And a school employee wellness program can help.
* Schools and school districts can provide an employee wellness program that includes healthy eating and physical activity.
* Fostering the physical and mental health of school employees also helps to support students’ health and academic success.
Why it's important
Every school employee, no matter their role, contributes to a school’s mission. School staff can give their best when they feel their best—and a school employee wellness program can help.
When staff model these healthy behaviors, they can reinforce them with students.
Additionally, supporting school employee wellness programs can:
* Improve staff retention and productivity.
* Decrease employee absenteeism.
* Decrease employee health care costs.
