The committee is experiencing the norming stage of team development.

Explanation:

Team development occurs in phases which are; forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning.

The storming phase is usually rough as team members disagree and argue with each other on the best way to accomplish the team goals.

The norming phase follows the storming phase, and it is in this phase conflicts are resolved and team members start to agree with each other and overcome the obstacles previously encountered. There is now reduced tension and information flow among members of the group.

Therefore, the committee, formed to study the feasibility of starting a wellness program, is currently experiencing the norming phase of team development.
