Dear Wellness Enthusiasts!
As we continue to build on the wellness program at Ventura Foods, there is an inherent need to explore employees’ input from the ground oor. That is why, beginning in 2017, we are developing a Wellness Committee! You have the exciting opportunity to demonstrate your passion and interest in the wellbeing of yourself and of your coworkers by joining the Wellness Committee! As part of the Wellness Committee, your responsibilities will involve a commitment to:
Champion Solicitation Letter
• Depending on events or activities on-site an average of 1 hour per week
• Serve as Wellness Champion for a minimum of 12 months with option to renew for additional year
• Meet with your local Wellness committee monthly
• Build enthusiasm around wellness initiatives
• Encourage co-workers to utilize unlimited and free telephonic coaching
• Utilize training, resources, and tips provided on the Well Works for You Wellness Portal
• Answer co-worker’s questions regarding Wellness Account and program
• Challenge co-workers to get active and make healthy choices, in the of ce and at home
• Provide content, testimonials and success stories for Ventura Voice
• Recommend policy and environmental changes that are aimed at improving the health and safety of Ventura Foods employees
• Assist the HRM with program planning – offer suggestions for activities and challenges expressed by coworkers
• Initiate on-site/off-site challenges within their business units
• Present wellness initiatives during department/ team meetings
We see great potential for the wellness program, but it cannot be done without a dedicated committee to help the program thrive. All Wellness Committee members will receive
a personal letter from executive leadership, an annual lunch dedicated to the Wellness Champions (you!), and a gift basket. Additional incentives will be awarded to local Wellness Committees for sites with the highest percentage of participation in biometric screenings, telephonic coaching, and on-site challenges! If you enjoy motivating others to be healthy and want to be a part of the Ventura Wellness Committee, please contact \[name of local HRM\] by \[date\].
