What is Step UP?
What is Step UP?“At Emory, we are committed to fostering a community that encourages joyful, healthy living — through our series of wellness programs, initiatives in sustainability, and new steps to help find balance between work and family life. Good health is one of the foundation stones of a strong community.” Recognizing the importance of a healthy workforce to the fulfillment of Emory's mission, Step UP Emory was created to provide employee education and awareness of health promotion and wellness opportunities in the workplace. Step UP Emory began in spring 2007 with the “Take the Stairs” program, which encouraged faculty and staff to increase their physical activity throughout the workday. Other parts of the initiative focus on health questionnaires, nutrition and prevention. Step UP Emory is sponsored by Emory University, EMORY HEALTHCARE, Faculty Staff Assistance Program, Employee Health Services and HeartWise. |
