Voluntary Workplace Wellness Program

Meaning

A Voluntary Workplace Wellness Program is an employer-sponsored initiative designed to encourage employees to adopt healthier behaviors through educational resources, health screenings, or activity challenges, provided participation is explicitly non-coercive and incentivized within legal limits. These programs often target modifiable risk factors linked to chronic disease, including those affecting metabolic and hormonal health, such as weight management or stress reduction. The voluntary nature is a key distinction, ensuring compliance with federal employment and privacy laws.
