Great Resource for Worksite Wellness Professionals

We worked several years on an outline for this book. We wanted to follow up the 1992 AFB Worksite HP Guidelines book with content that "moved the field" forward. The Association for Worksite Health Promotion was becoming financially challenged because of infighting and poor management at the organizational level. But those of us that worked on this book believed in worksite wellness / health promotion and also understood that there needed to be more books about our field written by practitioners. This book is different for it not only offers a view of the theories and models that drive our programming forward, but also provides many good chapters on "how to do it". These "how to" chapters have been written by practitioners that have many years in the trenches. Practitioners that represent many different models, work environments and philosophes. The diversity of the authors in this book is one of its major strengths. Lots of good ideas that still have meaning in worksite programming today. I can't imagine a worksite professional not having this in their library. William B. Baun, EPD, FAWHP
