1.\u00a0 Hire\/Assign a Wellness Coordinator within the organization.\u00a0 The Wellness Coordinator will be in charge of creating the vision, coordinating all the moving parts of the program, and partnering with vendors to ensure your goals are met.\u00a0 The Wellness Coordinator can also build a team of people to be wellness champions within your organization; this team would be called your wellness committee.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Build a Wellness Committee.\u00a0 The Wellness Coordinator will be in charge of building this team of individuals.\u00a0 Each area of your organization can be represented through this committee.\u00a0 The team should gather on a monthly or quarterly basis to share ideas, help champion the program offerings, and develop creative ways to get everyone involved.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Continuity and Consistency:\u00a0 Your program will be most impactful when everything is uniform and consistent with processes, scheduling and programming.\u00a0 Schedule events that build on one another and be sure they address the greatest challenges your employees face.\u00a0 You\u2019ll want to brand your emails, posters and marketing communication so all employees can tell the messages are associated with your wellness offerings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Biometric Screening and Subjective Health Surveys:\u00a0 Help employees assess their health risks and challenges by offering biometric screening and asking them to complete a subjective health survey that will assess their daily habits around nutrition, sleep, stress, and\u00a0 more.\u00a0 The results from these two screenings will allow your employee to see where their body may be challenged (high blood pressure, at risk for diabetes, etc.) and also how their habits are feeding their health challenge (not eating enough vegetables, lacking sleep, and unable to manage high stress).\u00a0 We provide subjective survey information to our clients once we\u2019ve discussed their biometric baseline.\u00a0 You can ask your vendor to assist with this, or create your own.\u00a0\u00a0 This cumulative data allows us to create a customized program that helps employees better their health by directly addressing the health issues most concerning to them, and providing strategies to support their daily efforts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Education and Implementation: A good wellness program provides ongoing education to help employees advocate for themselves and create new life habits.<\/a>\u00a0 Educational tools can include live lectures, webinars, podcasts, articles, newsletters, interactive apps, and recipes.\u00a0 In order to help your employees create long-term change, it is important to have accountability measures in place to ensure implementation of the learned tips and strategies.\u00a0 You can easily create a culture of positive, supportive accountability by hosting team challenges, having open forum discussions around specific topics and asking that your vendor provide follow up homework assignments with each education program.\u00a0 Education is important, but it\u2019s the implementation that creates change and helps your employees better their health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Incentivize and Track:\u00a0 Offer a tracking tool for all employees to log their activities and gauge their progress.\u00a0 This offering will keep your employees engaged and motivated to stay on track to achieve their personal and professional goals.\u00a0 Incentivizing your team also adds an extra spark to peak their interest, create team morale and support one another to enjoy all the benefits of the program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Make the Investment:\u00a0 If you\u2019re going to provide a wellness program, be sure that it\u2019s robust enough to support a return.\u00a0 In a recent interview with the Wellness Council of America, Dr. Ron Goetzel, Directory of the Emory University Institute for Health and Productivity Studies, stated you should budget $200-$400 per eligible employee per year in order to see a return on your investment.\u00a0 When this type of investment is made, returns range between 1.5 – 2 times for every $1 invested in their wellness program.\u00a0 Plan to make an investment in your employees if you choose to invite wellness into your worksite.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Supportive Environment:\u00a0 Everyone from the top down needs to be involved, support the wellness movement and stay engaged.\u00a0 If the reporting manager takes an hour over lunch to hit the gym, his team will be more likely to do so as well!\u00a0 Walk the walk and silently give permission for your team to do the same.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When people feel better, they perform better.\u00a0 Explore ways to create a culture of healthy living in your workplace and help your employees achieve long-term health while they excel in their career.<\/p>\n
