Employee Wellness Program
The CalHR Employee Wellness Program is administered by the Statewide Engagement Program. The Employee Wellness Program is an established initiative aimed at comprehensively supporting the wellbeing of California’s workforce. This program provides strategic direction, training and guidance to state departments, with CalHR taking a leadership role in helping them establish healthy worksites and proactive onsite wellness programs that foster employee engagement at all organizational levels.
Wellness Coordinators within each state department are dedicated advocates for the health and wellbeing of all employees. The Employee Wellness Program’s primary objective is to empower employees and promote their overall wellness and sense of wellbeing. This is achieved through a range of wellness initiatives, health-related events, statewide challenges and self-regulating resources.
