The number of meetings may depend on survey results andfindings by the worksite wellness committee.• The Worksite Wellness Committee Action Plan (Appendix B and Appendix C) is critical tothe guidance and success of program activities, the evaluation of those activities and reportingresults to management.• After the wellness committee has completed the first year, the committee can continue to usethe workbook as a guide for years two, three and so on.• The committee workbook has been created so that committee members can rotate off and newemployees can rotate onto wellness committees.
