According to Dr. Joel Bennett, "If you look at many of the best practice articles on effective wellness programs that have come out over the past 10, 20 years, those programs that tend to be more effective have a champion. They have a person who not only coordinates and administers the program, but also has a passion, vision and their own healthy leadership capacity. So, we took the hint and have developed various programs for training well-being champions."
