Healthy Maine Works

Healthy Maine Works is a project of the Maine CDC, Maine Office of Substance Abuse, and Maine Department of Education delivered in collaboration with local Healthy Maine Partnerships. The purpose of Healthy Maine Works is to guide and support Maine employers in developing worksite wellness programs which support the health of employees. Supporting employee health is good for business – it can improve employee on-the-job performance and impact the bottom line; it helps individuals and families stay well; and it is good for Maine.

Along with guidance from local Healthy Maine Partnership staff, Healthy Maine Works is easy to use and helpful to employers of all sizes and types across the state. Healthy Maine Works is an online tool that guides employers in developing worksite wellness programs. It offers assessment tools to establish health related priorities, provides detailed recommendations for new programs, and allows users to sort and prioritize activities and create wellness action plans which can be downloaded or printed. With no-costs and minimal time ­commitment, Healthy Maine Works greatly simplifies the process of choosing the right activities or programs for worksite wellness.

Regardless of whether or not a worksite has a wellness program, Healthy Maine Works is a useful tool. For employers just getting started, the simple, guided, and no-cost process for developing a worksite wellness plan is a great first step. For worksites with existing programs, the tried and tested activities combined with the expertise and resources provided by Healthy Maine Partnership staff, will give any wellness program a boost.
