Employees do not always feel comfortable talking to their employers about their Wellness situation.
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.
