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.
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.
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.

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.
Employee Wellness: A Combination of Personal Accountability and Corporate Res...
A strong employee wellness program is the first step to encouraging better health and creating meaningful, positive change in the lives of employees and their families. A well-designed healthcare insurance plan, a comprehensive wellness program, and creating a culture of personal accountability for wellness can optimize healthcare spending and improve employee health. It can also bolster the understanding and shared accountability for healthcare costs between the employees and the company.
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.
The 10 Commandments of Employee Wellness
Your business is important, and so are the employees who make it great. When they're healthier, they're happier and when they're happier, they're more engaged at work. That's why having a wellness program that works is the key.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
