Worksite Wellness Training Registration

Submitted by Sharolyn Jackson

The Healthy You KSRE Workplace Wellness Leadership Team and WorkWell Kansas invite you to participate in workplace wellness training uniquely tailored for KSRE employees. Registration information is available at http://healthyyou.ksre.k-state.edu, and we ask that you register at least two weeks prior to the date of the training you wish to attend. Training dates and locations are:

January 30, SW Area Extension Office in Garden City
January 31, Ellis County Extension Office in Hays
February 10, Wheat Innovation Center in Manhattan
February 15, SE Area Extension Office in Parsons

The morning session, “Building a Foundation for Worksite Wellness,” is required before attending any of the workshops. The afternoon session will be a workshop on “Physical Activity." During the sessions, workplace teams will develop a plan to build a foundation for worksite wellness and to address the health priority of physical activity. We want to emphasize that each plan will be unique to where you work and these can be fairly simple. The focus is to find what works for your workplace.

We recommend that at least two people from your workplace (local office, unit, department -- however you identify your workplace) attend so they can plan as a team. This invitation is extended to everyone within KSRE, including office professionals, agents, program assistants, administrators, specialists, etc. and we need representation and involvement from employees in all of these roles.

Snacks and lunch will be provided and there is no fee for this training. Again, please register at least two weeks prior to the training you wish to attend.

If you have questions or need more information, please contact Sharolyn Jackson, sharolyn@ksu.edu; or Susan Johnson, susanjohnson@ksu.edu.

Thanks so much. --Sharolyn on behalf of the Healthy You Workplace Wellness Leadership Team
