Evolution of Advancing Our Own Wellness

Advancing wellness is an organization of dedicated wellness practitioners devoted to building healthier businesses by enhancing the health of individual employees.

Traditionally, the company’s wellness program consisted of initiatives intended for client launch. The organization would beta test prior to rolling out with client organizations.

In 2015, the organization changed its approach to one more internally focused, using the Working on Wellness Development Cycle, a strategic, evidence-based method it designed for Massachusetts Employers.
