Workplace Wellness Grant Program

Employers wanting to improve the health and wellness of their workers can benefit from the BWC's newest program, the Workplace Wellness Grant Program (WWGP). It provides funding to assist employers in establishing training and programs to reduce health risk factors specific to their employees.

BWC established WWGP to study the effect of a wellness program in the workplace on bringing down incidence and cost of accidents and illnesses. The goal is to control the escalating cost of workers' compensation claims through addressing health risk factors. The WWGP's collateral goals are also to reduce health-care costs for employers, as well as improve the health of the workforce.

They have provided an application packet for you to download below. Please take the time to read more about the program and see if it will help introduce a wellness program into your safety program. Information can also be found at ohiobwc.com.
