The Detroit Regional Chamber understands the importance of investing in a worksite health promotion program, and has a Wellness Committee meets monthly basis to discuss, establish and review the various staff wellness programs scheduled for the fiscal year. The Chamber’s comprehensive health promotion program contains the following elements:

• A fully equipped on-site fitness center available for staff use 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• Health education focusing on skill development and lifestyle behavior changes.
• A supportive social and physical work environment including implementing policies that promote healthy lifestyle choices.
• Providing an employee assistance program (EAP) and other work life initiative programs, helping employees balance work and family.
• Provide worksite-screening programs.
• Wellness activities including fitness challenges, classes, weight management programs, involvement in external fitness activities (charity walks, runs, etc.) and more.

The Chamber recognizes in order to promote a healthy, fit and fun workplace it must provide financial resources to support the various wellness activities and programs. In addition, the Chamber understands effective employer-sponsored activities help employees make lifestyle changes, including supportive social and physical environments that help employees maintain healthy behaviors.
