Abstract: Employee wellness programs are popular among employers because they have the potential to lead to positive outcomes for the employees and the organization. Moving from a public policy to local implementation, or the process of "operationalizing," presents a challenge within most organizations. The case study presented here provides an illustration of one public university?s attempt to interpret and apply a state policy to implement a wellness program for its employees. It features a description of the policy, a description of the context in which the policy is implemented and provides observations of the challenges and successes implementing the policy, lessons learned, and future directions.
