Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess office workers perceptions of workplace wellness programs (WWP). Significant: The significance of this study is to determine the relationship between workplace wellness and the influence it has on employees. Methods: An email was sent to 365 employees that participated in the Workplace Wellness Program at Cleveland State University (CSU). Flyers were posted on campus and participants were solicited by word-of-mouth. The fifteen (N=15) respondents were interviewed to assess their attitudes and perceptions regarding a workplace wellness program. Findings: Two –thirds (66%) of the participants interviewed described their overall health as good but needs improvement. Over half (60%) of the participants described wellness as being physically active or fit with three participants indicating that wellness is a holistic concept. Nearly all (87%) of the participants believe that employers should provide health and wellness programs. Over half (53%) of the respondents stated that they believe that a culture of wellness exists at CSU. Conclusions: The majority of the respondents believe that a workplace wellness program has an impact on the perceptions of employees at Cleveland State University.
