Wellness campaigns (as we define and design them) are rich experiences… they get participants immersed in a theme as well as setting and working toward a very ambitious goal. While we apply many of the same features as the challenge model, our content focuses on the theme more than the health habits.

Social Support
Social support through positive, health-promoting relationships can have a significant impact on motivation and long-term success. Otherwise, the health risk can increase dramatically. For example, when someone close to a participant becomes overweight, their chances of becoming overweight increase 45%-171% (depending on the nature of the relationship).
This paper focuses on the advantages of social support, with ideas for your organization to take advantage of these findings.
Small Steps or Giant Leaps
Changing ingrained health behaviors is a complex, highly individualized task. It doesn’t happen in a straight line; the course is dotted with hills, valleys, plateaus, u-turns, and roundabouts. Neither small steps nor giant leaps alone are effective approaches to lasting behavior change; in this paper, we’ll show you why.

Messages That Motivate
We all agree that health behaviors like regular exercise, good nutrition, and stress management skills matter. So how do you create messages that promote engagement and, ultimately, behavior that leads to mastery? Focus on employees’ basic needs for autonomy, competence, and connectedness with every wellness communication.
5 Ways to Boost Intrinsic Motivation
From a very young age, intrinsic motivation drives us to explore, play, learn, and master new skills without external rewards. But as we get older, life can pound the motivation right out of us. Maintaining and enhancing intrinsic motivation require supportive conditions. Employers should seize every opportunity to cultivate a workplace that encourages this — for wellness behaviors as well as positive job performance.
Small Steps: A Good Start, But Not Enough
Do small steps like taking the stairs or eating 1 vegetable serving a day mean significant, long-term changes in health and well-being? No! This SlideShare tells you why challenging goals with gratifying outcomes are a better strategy for wellness program participants.
1000 Wellness Campaigns in 2 Years: Want to Know What We've Learned?
Did you know that management support for wellness campaigns really doesn’t matter all that much? That’s 1 of 8 insider secrets we share from the results of more than 1000 implementations in the last 2 years. Find out what does matter, and how you can leverage it for your programs and participants - from the world leader in workplace wellness campaigns.
Why People Join Wellness Programs
We'd like to think people sign up for wellness programs because of something we can control -- like a cool platform, eye-catching incentives, and irresistible marketing. Although these extrinsic factors influence participation to an extent, it's the intrinsic, personal factors that inspire involvement and lasting success.
Valuable to anyone involved in designing or implementing wellness programs, this SlideShare examines misconceptions and uncovers the real reasons people participate. We include 7 ways to inspire your target population through hope -- a major factor.
Why Wellness Campaigns Should Be No Longer Than 12 Weeks
What is the ideal length of time to run a wellness campaign? It depends… on the topic, audience, time of year, frequency, previous program experience, the goal and whether it meets participant needs. This SlideShare examines these variables and offers the pros and cons of shorter or longer wellness campaigns.
A Wellness Story: Natalie's Personal Journey to Well-Being
This is a true story of how one girl triumphed over her excess weight. It highlights the damage done by extrinsic motivation (dieting to please others) and the benefits of moving toward intrinsic motivation by changing eating and exercise habits because they feel good, taking daily walks, and teaming up with a friend. The results of Natalie’s new strategy include increased energy, positive outlook and self-image, a new best friend — and a lasting 60-pound weight loss.
The Power of Teams and Social Connections: A Wellness Story
“I never thought I would feel this good again,” said a misty-eyed participant when asked how her wellness program participation had worked out. Though before she couldn’t even walk a ¼ mile without a break, after 3 months she was walking 35-40 minutes 5 days a week and strength training twice a week. How did she transform her life and gain a mountain of strength and energy? “My friends meant everything to me…” she explained. This heart-warming SlideShare details why friendship and camaraderie are far more powerful than simply knowing that exercise is good for you.
Wellness Participants Need a Community, Not a Network
Adding social features to organizational wellness campaigns can increase participation and engagement, so more is better, right? Wrong. Too many connections can dilute the impact and damage the outcome. This presentation highlights the differences between a large social network and a smaller community of support, plus suggestions for optimal structure and size.
Self-Fulfilling Fallacies of the Wellness Industry
If people understand their disease and mortality risk, will they naturally want to change their behavior? Do employees need an incentive/disincentive to improve health habits? We explain these 2 wellness fallacies plus a couple more. Beyond them lies the truth, and this presentation clarifies what's wrong with the fallacies as well as what wellness programs should do instead to help improve health.
How Many Wellness Challenges in a Year?
It depends. In this presentation, we explore the question and warn that too many wellness challenges might be detrimental. We give the pros and cons of offering more or fewer, along with the impact on your population, plus cautions against basing the number on participation levels.
The Science Behind Passport SlideShare
Like all of our employee wellness campaigns, Passport is designed with fun as a top priority. Experienced wellness professionals know that achieving high levels of participation and engagement can be difficult, and offering an exciting wellness challenge will increase chances for success. But fun by itself is not enough; to succeed in improving health, the program must be effective. Hiding the science of wellness behind an enjoyable, social, meaningful platform is our specialty. This presentation details Passport elements and the research that supports their inclusion.
Are Health Promoters Too Nice?
Being nice sounds like a great attribute; it makes sense that many wellness professionals fit into this category. But can you be too nice? The answer is YES -- if you’re not getting what’s needed to accomplish program goals, if you attempt to avoid offending at all costs, or if you hire and tolerate mediocrity. This presentation helps you realize that being too nice can be bad for your career, your organization, and your wellness program.
"Get Healthy... Or Else" Is the Wrong Approach to Wellness
Should employees take personal responsibility for their health and well-being? Yes; but they need information, skills, and support – not threats or manipulation.

Physiology of Chemical Sensation of smell.pdf
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
