Wellness
What is Wellness?
Wellness is more than simply disciplining ourselves to eat well
and exercise regularly. It is an approach to life we design to
help us achieve our highest potential. Just like a business process,
wellness calls for continuous improvement and self-renewal in
all areas of our lives.
Applied Materials Wellness
The Wellness program was established in 1988 to encourage
all our employees to reach their potential and maintain the productivity
necessary to meet the challenges of work and life in our competitive
world. By providing a variety of tools and resources to employees
throughout the world, our goal is to enable employees to develop
their own personal wellness program, a real key to success at
Applied Materials. No matter what your age, your job, or where
in the world you call home, we believe Applied Materials Wellness
has an approach to wellness for everyone.
