The Federal Executive Board Regional Health and Fitness Coordinating Committee coordinate the WellFeds Campaign Federal Employees: Active and Healthy…Working Well! for Chicago regional federal agencies. About the WellFeds Campaign The WellFeds Campaign “Federal Employees: Active and Healthy…Working Well!” is creating a model worksite wellness program for federal employees. The campaign is expected to become a national model, with the goal of expanding the initiative across the country with comprehensive agency participation similar to the Combined Federal Campaign. The initial goal of this worksite wellness campaign is to improve the culture of Chicago federal workplaces to more fully promote employee wellness, and thereby productivity, through physical activity, healthy eating, and other wellness activities. The initiative is a partnership with the Chicago Federal Executive Board, Building a Healthier Chicago through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services – Region V, and HHS’s Federal Occupational Health (FOH). Wellness leaders from Chicago region federal agencies form the WellFeds Campaign Leadership Team, which guides the campaign and provides support to agency wellness initiatives. In addition to the WellFeds Leadership Team, member agencies have also developed Wellness Champions who serve on committees to determine and implement appropriate wellness activities at each agency or division within an agency. To date, the WellFeds campaign has 20 participating agencies and over 100 participants attended the WellFeds kickoff. About the WellFeds Worksite Wellness Program Manual The WellFeds Worksite Wellness Program Manual (pdf) gives guidance for agencies on establishing worksite wellness programs. The professional manual begins by detailing the steps to starting a model program and ends by highlighting no- or low-cost wellness activities that can be easily implemented in a federal workplace.
