Why Worksite Wellness Certification?A certification program raises the credibility and stature of a profession. A recognized and respected "certification" in any profession is generally valued more highly and is worth more money in the marketplace. Wellness certification can create credibility, provide a measurement of expertise, and can set you apart from competitors. It tells the hiring manager or client organization that you worked harder than the other person to earn the certificate. Generally, only a small percentage of a profession will rise to hold the highest level of certification. It's important to choose your Wellness Certification Program carefully. There are a few wellness certification programs available through various organizations. But not all certifications are created equal. Some programs focus on the clinical aspect of wellness. Others focus on one-on-one services like personal training, health coaching or nutrition. The type of certification program that often best supports what you want to do is one that takes a total program management approach. The WellCertsm Program is the largest and oldest Worksite Wellness certification program in the world having trained more than 2,500 individuals since 2006. In a recent E-Benefit News review of Worksite Wellness certification programs, the publication made special mention of the WellCertsm Program and favored it over all others, noting: "I chose this program because of its comprehensive focus on corporate wellness rather than one aspect, like coaching or physical fitness....I didn't have to work very hard to sell it to my colleagues. Many firms are in varying stages of providing corporate wellness consulting and related services to their clients. The wellness movement has become so strong that my certification in this program has helped us stay ahead of our competition."
