Leadership and Coordination
Wellness Works is an outreach program coordinated by the Physical Activity and Health Promotion Lab in the Department of Kinesiology at Iowa State University. Programming is managed by graduate students and undergraduate research assistants trained in worksite health promotion. The Worksite Wellness team oversees the service learning programming provided through HS 380 as well as the supplemental service learning and health coaching applications available through a supplemental practicum course focused on teaching skills in motivational interviewing (KIN 494). The team collectively guides research and outreach programming coordinated through Wellness Works.

Overview and Approach
The primary programming strategy used in Wellness Works is service learning. Undergraduate students work with faculty and graduate students in the Physical Activity and Health Promotion Lab to plan, prepare and implement worksite wellness programming for ISU and other local companies.
Students gain valuable experience in worksite programming and participating companies and employees receive direct benefits from the services provided by the students.
