[HealthyTribes] Updated Resources: CDC National Healthy Worksites Program

[Pawlak Rebecca L]

Hello grantees,

I wanted to let you know the CDC has updated their National Healthy Worksites Program page. You can link to the page through HPCDP Connection here: https://partners.health.oregon.gov/Partners/HPCDPConnection/Nutrition/Pages/index.aspx

Background: In October 2011, the CDC began the National Healthy Worksite Program (NHWP). The NHWP is designed to assist employers in implementing science and practice-based prevention and health promotion strategies that will lead to specific, measureable health outcomes to reduce chronic disease rates. CDC selected eight communities to participate in the program. Some HPCDP grantees and partners followed-along with the training series, as webinars were available to anyone.

Update:  The website now includes all training<http://www.cdc.gov/nationalhealthyworksite/join/training.html> materials and a toolkit<http://www.cdc.gov/nationalhealthyworksite/join/toolkit.html> - including a two new employee level assessments.  These are great resources for you as your write your workplans and implement your worksite wellness efforts.

Best,
