About Us
Live Well @ Work has partnered with the business community throughout San Diego County for over ten years. As a part of the countywide Live Well Initiative, Live Well @ Work engages businesses in creating healthier workplace environments supportive of healthy eating and active living. By adopting a wellness program, businesses can improve recruitment and retention of healthy employees, reduce healthcare costs, increase productivity, and decrease worksite injuries and sick days.
Live Well @ Work provides customized support in establishing comprehensive wellness programs tailored specifically to meet the needs of businesses and their employees at no-cost. With our evidence-based toolkit, California Fit Business Kit, we help transform the workplace environment and culture to one that makes healthy choices accessible for all employees. We work closely with all levels within an organization to significantly improve employee health and prevent chronic disease through education, engagement and environmental changes
