The University of Nebraska–Lincoln offers wellness coaching as a free service to employees. 

The program provides confidential, personalized support to help participants improve their health and well-being. Through one-on-one sessions, employees work with trained wellness professionals to identify goals, develop action plans and build sustainable habits aligned with their values and lifestyles.

Unlike traditional health education programs, wellness coaching focuses on helping individuals define what well-being means to them. Coaches act as partners in the behavior change process, helping participants identify motivators, overcome barriers and develop realistic strategies for success. Employees may focus on a variety of topics, including physical activity, nutrition, stress management, work-life balance, sleep and overall wellness.

The coaching process begins with a one-hour initial consultation, during which participants work with a coach to explore goals and create a personalized wellness plan. After the initial session, employees and coaches determine a follow-up schedule based on individual needs, with options for weekly, biweekly or monthly meetings. Written check-ins also may be included to provide additional support and accountability.

HealthierU’s mission is to support University of Nebraska–Lincoln employees in pursuing their own well-being through accessible programs, resources and services that address all dimensions of wellness. Wellness coaching is one of the program’s most individualized offerings, providing employees with tools, support and encouragement to make lasting lifestyle changes.

Employees interested in learning more about wellness coaching are encouraged to visit the program’s updated resource page for additional information, including expectations and availability.
