Tracy Co, the Seqwater program coordinator is pleased to see the results and had the following feedback about the program:
“Thank you for running the Wellbeing Assessments again this year. The sessions were very well received and a number of staff commented on how the Wellbeing Assessments in 2009 helped them with health improvement and losing weight. WCH consultants provided practical advice and were very knowledgeable and professional. The consultants were absolute life (and time) savers when it came to setting up, tailoring and promoting the health programs, especially when organising the programs with our staff across multiple sites! Through the WCH report from the Wellbeing Assessments in 2009, we were able to highlight the health “hot spots” to focus on. The programs from WCH have supported the culture of health and safety we are continuing to build at Seqwater, through a very individualised and tailored approach."
