The Ohio BWC Announces Workplace Wellness Grant Program

A healthy workforce is crucial to workplace safety

The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) is accepting applications for the Workplace Wellness Grant Program (WWGP). The program assists employers with the creation and implementation of a workplace wellness program.

A workplace wellness program consists of a health-risk appraisal (HRA), a biometric assessment and programs designed to address those risk factors. Employers may receive $300 per participating employee over a four-year period, up to a maximum amount of $15,000 per policy.

Employers that do not have a wellness plan and meet other eligibility requirements may apply. Employers can find more information on the program, including program requirements and complete an online application.
