In this module, we will talk about the program infrastructure that will support your Worksite Wellness program.
Before we launch into each of the steps of the Working on Wellness Development Cycle, this module will focus on the center of the circle.
To improve the health of your workforce, it is beneficial to bring together three essential partners: individual employees, the organization or worksite, and the broader community.
In order to build a strong internal infrastructure for your Working on Wellness initiative, it’s useful to thoughtfully engage employees and key worksite decision-makers. Employees alone cannot drive worksite wellness initiatives, nor can worksites promote wellness initiatives without employee buy-in. The involvement of both will ensure that the planning and implementation of your initiative will be successful; and it will set your initiative up for long-term sustainability.
Engaging the community is also essential to developing a strong external infrastructure for your worksite wellness initiative. Later in this module, we will talk about how to define community, and how tapping into resources and partnerships at the community level can lead to a healthier workforce and community overall.
The wellness program will focus on interests and risks of the employees, and will offer a combination of programs and policies that are appropriate for our virtual workforce.
Use established culture for connectedness and accountability
Rotating health coach guides and motivates participants to succeed
