BARBARA WILSON AND DONNA WOOD, WELLNESS STRATEGIES LLC
As co-founders of Wellness Strategies LLC, we define our mission in terms of helping every workplace be a great place to work.
From our years of business experience, we know that a company’s bottom line is directly proportionate to the productivity of employees on the front line. And we also know that the single-most critical factor in employees’ productivity is their health and sense of well-being.
Our programs are not just "feel-good factor." They are grounded in practical, evidence-based, best business practices. We work with organizations of all types and all sizes to build employee health and productivity programs that meet budgets and exceed goals. From needs assessment through program delivery and evaluation, our Wellness Strategies team will work with you to design and implement an initiative that is customized for your organization and structured for sustainability.
Visit our website at www.wellnessstrategies.net. While you’re there, give our Employee Health and Productivity survey a test run.

JIM BOUCHARD, DYNAMIC COMPONENTS OF PERSONAL POWER
"A different kind of employee is emerging in the workplace. Increasingly, worker’s commitments may be more to themselves than to their employer.”
From “Journal of Extension”, www.joe.org, Ohio State University Extension
The fact is the workplace is changing. Employee motivation is emerging as one of the most important keys to profitability. Countless studies show that motivated employees are more productive. A Gallup study of more than 10,000 employees in 12 industries shows that a positive attitude toward work means a 44% probability of producing above average profits.
In this new age organizations that encourage the success and fulfillment of individual employees will enjoy this profit expansion. The greatest profits will go to those who understand the importance of cultivating individual success and satisfaction in the workplace.
“The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.”
