Total Wellness:  = Physical, emotional, spiritual, social, financial, occupational, environmental, intellectual wellness.

A Wellness Champion and peer educator is a person in the company or department that keeps employees informed (toolbox talks, notices, posters etc.) regarding all of the above.  It is also the person that builds a personal relationship with his/her peers in the workplace, a person people feel comfortable with.  Most of all it will usually be the Wellness Champion that will be the first to notice that something is amiss with a fellow employee, lets call it a "front line defense" on your employees wellness.
