Get Active Wellness Toolkit

The Get Active Wellness Toolkit was inspired by the Greater Des Moines (DSM) business community’s support of making Iowa the healthiest state in the nation. A Capital Crossroads survey conducted in 2013 revealed that many small business owners like the idea of helping their employees remain healthy, but don’t have enough time, expertise or resources to implement a program. The Get Active Wellness Toolkit seeks to remove those barriers by arming small businesses with “plug-and-play” content to help them implement a wellness program within their offices.  The program is a benefit of membership to one of the Partnership’s 23 Affiliate Chambers of Commerce in Central Iowa, and is available to them at no additional cost.
 
Each month, Chamber Member businesses may download a new one-page poster and handout that provides wellness tips, facts and resources to give employees immediate takeaways that they can implement in their daily lives. Here’s an example:
 
The materials are available to view on the Partnership’s website, https://www.dsmpartnership.com/growing-business-here/business-resources/workplace-wellness/getactive.   Here’s to your health!
