Abstract

Our society has taken college employees' health and wellbeing for granted and has not recognized that many of the economic, intellectual and artistic accomplishments in American life are in large part due to the invaluable contributions of college employees. The health and wellbeing of college employees is an underappreciated area of intervention for worksite health promotion. In comparison to the corporate world, service industries and the manufacturing industries, the wellness of college employees is often at the bottom of the priority list for the health and wellness of the workforce in the United States. This commentary calls for an increased involvement of health educators in college employee health and wellness promotion programs, wellness initiatives, policy changes and research.
