ICANATWORK is a free coalition of local business leaders, CEOs, human resource directors and wellness experts designed to help businesses of all sizes adopt effective wellness strategies.
 
Investing in health and wellness in the workplace can help you boost morale, build teamwork, increase productivity and curb rising healthcare costs. In order to achieve a healthier San Diego County, it is our mission to help employers understand health and wellness as an investment rather than as a line-item expense.
 
This means helping you use your dollars wisely by empowering your health purchasing and budget decisions based on data, outcomes and best practices.
 
In order to achieve this vision, we will be working to:

• Foster a culture of worksite wellness in San Diego County;
  
• Help businesses develop strategies to curb raising health care costs;
  
• Serve as a forum for resource sharing among businesses and wellness professionals.

ICANATWORK is a project of Community Health Improvement Partners (CHIP), a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose mission is to improve the health of all San Diegans through needs assessment, advocacy, education, and programs best accomplished collectively. CHIP specializes in helping public health agencies, hospitals, healthcare providers and community-based organizations identify gaps and develop public-private work teams and collaborative efforts designed to leverage resources and address those needs. We believe there is a large service gap between employer interest in improving employee health and the resources and services available to assist them with that process. CHIP also prides itself on being a neutral convener; we are not in the industry of wellness. We have no plan, program, tool, etc. to sell – we are in the business of helping to identify and promote the best practices capable of improving the health and well-being of all San Diegians.

Thanks to funding from Pfizer, Inc. this coalition and initiative are free to all participants. In addition, CHIP will not solicit your organization for donation support or share your information. However, we do not host events simply for the sake of hosting events. We ask that you plan on participating in discussions and share your own best practices with your peers when applicable.
