Each year, WELCOA provides a nationally-recognized workplace wellness certification opportunity. Known as Well Workplace University, this engaging and stimulating certification provides all participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop and deliver a results-oriented wellness program.
About WELCOA Wellness Certifications
In 2010, WELCOA will offer three certification opportunities. Each are outlined in detail below:
Well Workplace University Level I
Well Workplace University Level 1 is WELCOA's flagship training program. In this four-part Webinar, participants will learn the art and science of building a results-oriented wellness program. Building on WELCOA's Seven Benchmarks of Healthy Companies, this training is specifically designed to help wellness practitioners and business leaders build and sustain results-oriented wellness programs. To date, thousands of health professionals and business leaders have taken part in this training.
Well Workplace University Level II
In this Level II Certification, WELCOA President, Dr. David Hunnicutt, and other national leaders will provide more in-depth instruction and insight into the art and science of developing a personal skill set that will allow you to effectively build and sustain a results-oriented workplace wellness initiative. Specifically, the topics of leadership, creating change, getting things done through others, establishing essential priorities, and maximizing your time will be addressed as part of the core curriculum.
Well Workplace University Level III
In the Well workplace university Level III Certification, WELCOA President, Dr. David Hunnicutt, and other national leaders will focus on the topic of changing behaviors. Perhaps the most rigorous of the previous Certificate Training Courses offered by WELCOA, this four-part series will provide essential information on the art and science of changing unhealthy behaviors.
