Be Well in Livingston: Healthy Worksite

Meetings tend to be a place where people sit and often snacks are not nutritious.  Your organization can make small changes and become a Healthy Worksite!

If you are willing to get started, the goals are to:

  • Add a stretch/stand break as an agenda item. The meeting can continue as people move their bodies. See the sample below.
  • Add a fruit or vegetable (or healthy option) and ensure there is water at your meetings, so people have the option for a more nutrient-dense choice. It doesn’t mean you can’t continue to offer cakes and donuts, just add a healthy alternative!
  • Be a leader willing to model healthy behavior and support employees.

Join other organizations in Livingston County making health a priority in the workplace! To do so:

  • Complete the worksite agreement form and submit it to be a Be Well in Livingston Healthy Worksite or contact the Livingston County Department of Health for an editable version.  
  • Contact information: kruliffson@co.livingston.ny.us or 585-243-7279 (Kim Ruliffson).
