Janice Litvin, Workplace Wellness Advocate to Speak at HR West 19

(Oakland, CA) Janice Litvin, local workplace wellness advocate, speaker, founder of Bay Area Wellness Association, and Zumba Fitness™ instructor is invited back for the second time to speak at HR West 2019, the premier conference of the Northern California Human Resources Association (NCHRA). The conference will take place at the Oakland Convention Center March 11th-13th.

As the wellness profession comes of age many companies have jumped on the wellness bandwagon because they are realizing that “well employees” lead to bottom line savings by reducing absenteeism, enhancing productivity, and slowing the growth of healthcare costs. These companies offer a variety of physical fitness programs and even weight loss, smoking cessation, and mindful meditation programs. But participation is still hovering at only 40%. “We have just begun to scratch the surface with wellness,” says Litvin, “and with some innovative engagement approaches that won’t break the bank, we could go all the way.”

Hence, Litvin’s HR West talk is entitled, “Out of the Box Wellness: Innovations in Workplace Wellness,” and is scheduled for Tuesday, March 12th at 3:25 pm.

“Companies are a microcosm of society and an important and unleveraged setting for health improvement and risk reduction,” says Dr. Ron Goetzel, a leading expert in the field of health and productivity management. With 150 million Americans going to work every day, corporate America is not only in the best position to change our nation’s health, but has a responsibility to do so.

Janice Litvin works with organizations and workplaces that want to get their employees healthy and productive so they come to work every day happy and ready to work. She also motivates people to lose weight through her Lose for Life™ program. Certified by the Aerobics and Fitness Assoc. of America (AFAA), Janice leads Zumba Fitness™ classes in Contra Costa County.
