Wellness Workdays, a leading provider of integrated, outcomes-driven workplace well-being solutions, was selected by the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to design and lead a comprehensive employee well-being initiative serving more than 300 faculty and staff. The Isenberg School, ranked the #2 public business school in the Northeast (undergraduate) by U.S. News & World Report, is investing in a culture that supports employee well-being, strengthens engagement, and empowers its faculty and staff to thrive.
Program Components and Early Engagement
Wellness Workdays will implement its population health framework with a tailored, outcomes-focused strategy. Program elements include onsite behavioral health and wellness coaching to support stress management and resilience; biometric screenings to assess key health markers; onsite seminars and wellness events including presentations and nutrition demonstrations led by Wellness Workdays registered dietitians; and virtual and onsite programming to increase access across schedules and roles. Within the first few months of the program, more than 30 percent of the population already engaged with the onsite behavioral health coach at no cost to employees.
Strategic Alignment and Institutional Commitment
Employee well-being is one of six strategic priorities for Isenberg Dean Anne P. Massey. By promoting work-life balance and addressing mental and physical health through innovative programming, Isenberg shows its commitment to supporting faculty and staff in achieving optimal well-being. Debra Wein, CEO and Founder of Wellness Workdays, noted that when preventive care and practical support are accessible, well-being becomes part of the daily experience of work, supporting energy, focus, and engagement. The program will offer personalized and group-based opportunities to engage in supportive daily practices, explore nourishment and resilience, and enhance overall well-being.
Long-Term Impact and Measurement
By combining biometric data, individualized coaching, and interactive educational programming, the initiative aims to create sustainable, long-term impact. Isenberg is providing this valuable service free to employees, particularly significant as healthcare costs continue rising.
