To
advance a national worksite wellness agenda, the Council promoted
the Well Workplace Awards, a Wellness Council of America (WELCOA)
initiative. The Well Workplace Award initiative is driven by a
rigorous set of criteria. In Rhode Island, 67 organizations have
met this standard of workplace wellness.
