Idaho Forest Group Chooses MA-Based Wellness Workdays to Further Its Well-being Initiatives


Wellness Workdays, a leading provider of workplace wellness programs, has been selected by Idaho Forest Group, one of America’s largest lumber producers, to implement a comprehensive wellness program aimed to meet the needs of their 1,500 employees and their spouses. Wellness Workdays will develop strategic initiatives that assess the changing needs and interests of IFG’s population and provide individualized wellness strategies and programming to all employees across Idaho and Mississippi.


Wellness Workdays will implement their four-step outcomes-driven process to create a culture of well-being, while simultaneously meeting the needs of employees at all health risk levels. These unique wellness solutions will prioritize the health and well-being of each employee by including targeted initiatives such as company-wide wellness challenges, onsite biometric screenings, one-on-one and group health coaching, and an integrated technology solution. Topical content will include physical, mental, and behavioral health, chronic disease management, sleep, financial well-being, and resilience. This proven approach is designed to educate participants on how to establish long-lasting changes that will ultimately lead to positive health outcomes.


“At Idaho Forest Group, we are strongly committed to our people. We selected Wellness Workdays because it is important for us to have a partner and a program that focuses on the specific needs of each employee while also recognizing the needs of our organization as a whole,” said Julie Shiflett, Chief Financial Officer, of Idaho Forest Group. “As a leader in behavior change and proven workplace wellness outcomes, we knew Wellness Workdays would be the perfect partner to bring our well-being program to the next level.”
