Introduction to the City of San Jose's Employee Wellness Initiative

The City of San José strives to provide employees with a positive, educational and supportive environment which provides a framework allowing individuals to live a healthy, happy, and productive lives at work and in their private life at home. We encourage employees to take advantage of our wellness program and its resources.

There are four commonly accepted determinants of good health: human physiology, environmental stresses, lifestyle choices, and access to and appropriate utilization of quality healthcare services. Good health can be preserved. And compromised or declining health can be improved through the appropriate application of wellness information, services and products. 

By emphasizing healthy lifestyle choices, providing information on a variety of topics, and offering a range of services designed to meet the employee’s wellness needs, we strive to foster a work environment where employees are empowered to achieve their maximum level of wellness and engagement.
