In July, Unison's Worksite Wellness Coordinator, Emily Wert, was selected by Employee Benefits Adviser (EBA), an industry trade magazine, for their 2011 Wellness Challenge. The premise behind the challenge was for Emily to "practice what she preaches." As an individual working within the industry, through the challenge, she would experience a wellness program as an enrollee instead of in her everyday capacity as coordinator. Emily's goal for the program was to learn more about her wellness profession and identify some personal health and wellness initiatives. EBA, in cooperation with OnLife Health, set Emily up with a 12-week personal health coaching program.
Throughout the 12 weeks, she recorded two podcasts and blogged extensively on the EBA website about her personal experience and how it directly impacted her job as a worksite wellness coordinator.
The project culminated in a cover story in the December edition of the magazine. Click below to read her weekly blogs and the December article. | |  | |
