Employee Wellness Program
The CalHR Statewide wellness program is administered by the Statewide Engagement Program, a established initiative aimed at comprehensively supporting the well-being 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.
General Information
Wellness Coordinators within each state department are dedicated advocates for the health and well-being of all employees. The Employee Wellness Program’s primary objective is to empower employees and promote their overall wellness and sense of well-being. This is achieved through a range of wellness initiatives, health-related events, statewide challenges, and self-regulating resources.
