FIT BIZ 🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♂️
Delaware Fit Biz is not just another worksite wellness program, but a menu of health behavior change strategies designed to create a culture of health within Delaware worksites. Through the implementation of policy, systems and environmental changes (PSEs), supported by technical assistance, marketing and coordinated educational programming, Delaware Fit Biz will ensure that the healthiest choice is the easiest choice for your employees!

Interested sites will submit an interest form, and a Cooperative Extension Agent will follow up to discuss program requirements and payment. The program costs $50/worksite; however, financial scholarships are available for worksites that qualify.
Fit Biz offers a learning collaborative model where worksites can learn strategy recommendations from University of Delaware Cooperative Extension and learn from other worksites that are working to implement changes.
The program is 6 virtual sessions covering various topics related to creating healthier workplaces. Interested worksites may also be eligible for an on-site technical assistance visit from University of Delaware Cooperative Extension.
Topics include:
● Session 1: Overview of Delaware Fit Biz Program, Worksite Wellness Committees, Healthy and Productive Meetings
