Whilst not everyone can be a qualified physical or mental health professional, almost everyone has been, or knows someone who has been, impacted by a physical or mental health problem in their lives. Aimed at identifying and utilising team members who are resilient and passionate about the wellbeing of others, your wellness champions are critical to the success of the program.
Wellness champions help create a sustainable wellness culture. Therefore, it is vital to actively appoint individuals within your organisation to drive the program’s success and guide workers to the appropriate support services.
Champions will be provided with training, resources, and ongoing support from the wellness team. Ideally, your champions will volunteer for the position rather than be assigned to the role.
