Weaving wellness into the corporate fabric isn't easy, but when C-suite executives are on board with the idea, the work force is more likely to follow. A case study on the effect of C-suite support on employee engagement and participation in health-related initiatives will be presented during "Creating a Culture of Health by Engaging the C-suite and Employees to Promote Better Health," a December 4, 2007 live webinar presented by the Healthcare Intelligence Network.
