Health Promotion Research Center

Driven by Data, Designed for You

Connect to Wellness was developed through 15 years of collaboration between researchers at the University of Washington Health Promotion Research Center (UW HPRC), health experts, and small worksites. Our commitment to continuous learning ensures that Connect to Wellness evolves to meet the needs and wants of small organizations like yours. 

“This program really works. It’s one-stop shopping for everything a worksite needs to hit the health behaviors most relevant to improving employee well-being.”

Dynamic & Responsive

Wellness needs aren’t static, and neither is Connect to Wellness™. Our team actively listens to small worksites and monitors emerging health trends while continuing to study, evaluate, and refine Connect to Wellness™. This ongoing research keeps us at the forefront of innovation, ensuring that Connect to Wellness™ is relevant for you and your employees.

The UW HPRC conducted a randomized research study with 78 worksites in King County, Washington from 2014 to 2017. 

Employers who participated in Connect to Wellness™ implemented more than twice as many best practices than employers in a control group who did not receive Connect to Wellness until the end of the study! The increase in best practices lead to healthier employees. Read more here (2019 main outcomes).
