Purpose of Champion Training
To provide simple, ongoing education and support for firm-level Wellness Champions who are critical to the success of the Designed Wellness initiative*
*as recommended by the initial needs assessment and the Wellness Advisory Council
3
Key Deliverables
• Provide champions both the tools and training to feel confident in their abilities to implement the program at all stages of development.
• Facilitate a community of practice to empower Champions to work and learn from each other.
• Help champions to optimize engagement of employees and leverage all of the resources that they have available to them.
4
Your Role
• At ACEC Life/Health Trust, we recognize effective wellness programs often have an internal employee or employees who “own” the program, help to get employees engaged, and seek to build a healthy work culture.
• There are different titles used for these special people; for example, ambassadors, champions, health advocates, facilitators, sparkplugs, and cheerleaders. Whatever title you choose, we provide you with a variety of updated resources to help you in your efforts.
