Employees' safety, health and wellbeing has always been a top priority for SLCC. One of the many ways we support our employees in being the best they can be is through our wellness programs. Many studies show that properly executed employee wellness programs improve morale, retention and engagement, as well as improve workers' overall health outcomes. Specifically for employers, according to Harvard researchers, a good employee wellness program can save $3.27 in health care costs and $2.23 in absenteeism costs for every dollar spent. 

The College recognizes that each wellness journey is unique based on individual circumstances. As such, SLCC's Wellness Team serves up a broad range of learning programs that focus on various physical, mental, and financial health topics. With June being National Employee Wellness Month, here's a look at the wellness programs available to all SLCC employees.
