Wellness Commitee
The City of Mill Creek maintains a Wellness Program to educate, promote and encourage health awareness and healthful lifestyle choices by City employees. We believe that contributing toward maintaining good physical and mental health will have a positive impact on productivity and morale of the City’s workforce.
The purpose of the Wellness Program is to:
• Encourage employees to maintain good physical and mental health
• Reduce healthcare expenses by earning a discount on plan premiums
• Increase productivity of our workforce
• Reduce absenteeism
Recognition Committee
The City’s recognition and appreciation program is designed to encourage employee recognition and appreciation at all levels of the organization. The City also believes that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to recognition and appreciation, and so has created both monetary and non-monetary rewards to recognize and appreciate employees. Some of these components may be covered in more detail in other City policies or procedures and additional rewards or premiums may apply to members of a bargaining unit as provided for in their CBA.
Safety Committee

The City strives to maintain a healthful environment and safe working conditions for all employees. We are committed not only to providing a workplace that is free of hazards and a program that promotes genuine interest in the prevention of injuries, but also an environment that values wellness at work. Management, supervisors, and employees all have a part to play in these efforts.
A Safety Committee, which acts as an advisory group to assist in these activities and to facilitate effective communication between employees and management about workplace safety and health issues.
