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.
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.
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.
"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.

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.
Nudging the Culture of Wellness: Evidence-Based Approach
WEBINAR FROM
http://www.nationalwellness.org/index.php?id_tier=128&id_c=225
(Can listen to audio there)
Healthy work cultures are not "built" as much as "nudged" over time. Nudge means gradual, intentional, peer-to-peer positive interaction and encouragement. Recognized in the National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP), "Team Awareness" (TA) has provided nudge training to over 10,000 workers in various industries. Join this session to learn how any culture of health effort must consider the work group, leadership, and social health.
We will explain how TA works, how to start using quick tools from TA, and three tenets of wellness cultures: (1) Costs are incurred if you only invest in individual health when the work culture is toxic; (2) Strong wellness program don't guarantee worker engagement; (3) The strongest workplace influence on employee health is his or her immediate work-group and supervisor.
This third tenet is a force-multiplier which you can jump-start by empowering work groups to know their health benefits, coping skills, tolerance levels for unhealthy practices, by reviewing basic listening skills, and through NUDGE: Notice who may need your encouragement; Understand your role; Decide if you should say something; if so, use GUIDELINES for communication, and then Encourage!
Following the webinar, participants will be able to:
describe the six modules of Team Awareness and why it has been so effective
use tools from the Team Awareness curriculum
understand the basic steps of nudging

Corporate Culture Of Health
Today's companies must begin to look at employee health, not as a cost, but an investment. Data show conclusively that the health status of a company's employees is directly correlated to the profitibility and competitiveness of the company. This is not an American challenge, but a global challenge and responsibility. This was a keynote address to a dozen major US corporations in May, 2008. I'm happy to discuss with anyone of interest.

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.
Team Wellness Challenges

- Why team competitions boost participation and engagement
- How to do wellness teams well with 10 Keys to Success.
How Financial Incentives/Disincentives Undermine Wellness
Making wellness rewarding without rewards

Promoting Wellness on the Home Front
The Business Case for Targeting Family Health and Well-Being
- Why family health matters
- How work life and family life are linked
- Steps your organization can take to promote family well-being.
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.
3 Pillars of Successful Well-Being Campaigns
At HES we’ve been creating knock-your-socks-off worksite wellness challenges for more than 20 years — centered on 3 simple ideas: challenging goals, fun themes, and social support. This SlideShare lays out the science behind our approach and the success of hundreds of thousands of participants each year.
Campaigns vs. Challenges: Why Experience Matters More Than Ever
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.
Millennials: The Best Career Advice You’ll Ever Get
Looking back some 22 years, there are purposeful steps as well as seemingly random events that combine to produce a productive, satisfying career. And while your life ambitions are your own, here are some things I’ve learned that could help you while keeping stress in check as you build success.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnataka
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.
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
