Our Team

Wellness Action Team

The Wellness Action Team is a group of Miami Employees who have expressed interest in advocating and promoting health and well-being. This group partly developed from employees who were actively involved in wellness forums held in the Spring 2005 and from seeking volunteers once Health & Well-Being officially began in Fall 2005.

The Wellness Action Team members serve as the eyes and ears of Health & Well-Being on all three campuses. Their main responsibility is to help serve as ambassadors for healthy living. They do this by learning about the variety of resources on each campus, sharing suggestions and ideas in committee meetings, and actively advocating health and well-being activities among their co-workers.

The Wellness Action Team meets as a group three or four times per year. In addition to serving on the full committee, members might volunteer at presentations/events, and disseminate information to faculty and staff regarding health and well-being activities. By actively promoting health and well-being on their campus, Wellness Action Team members can help Miami faculty and staff increase their energy levels, reduce illness and injury, enjoy more productive workdays, and ultimately feel better about themselves. Membership on the Wellness Action Team will rotate every few years to enable other employees to be involved in Employee Health & Well-Being.
