How To Craft Your Wellness Vision Statement
In essence, the vision/mission statement is simply a one or two sentence declarative on what you’d like your program to
ultimately accomplish. Some business professionals struggle with the idea of developing the vision/mission statement,
but it really doesn’t have to be so complicated. Literally, the word vision means “to see.” Consequently, the vision
statement is what you see in the future for your program.
When developing your wellness vision and mission statement, why not begin by comparing standards with the nation’s
top companies? To help you frame your wellness vision statement and get ideas flowing, here’s a list of what Fortune
500 companies have written. If your wellness vision statement is modeled after the best of the best, it can only reflect
positively on your planning efforts.
