5 important focuses when designing a corporate wellness program.
Establishing Goals & Objectives.
An essential step in launching or refining a corporate wellness program is to establish clear goals and objectives. This involves understanding your organization's needs, whether this be reducing health care costs or creating a more engaged and productive workforce. During our workshop we help you through this process with our company assessment exercise. Once these needs are identified, you can create meaningful objectives to drive your program towards success!
Crafting a Wellness Action Plan.
A wellness action plan is an important component of both launching and refining a corporate wellness program. When crafting this plan, you’ll need to consider four main areas: goals and objectives, activities, budget, and timeline. Next, creating a holistic program that cove many different wellness dimensions and topics will be important. In addition to honing in on the specifics of each area, you’ll also want to consider how everyone within your organization can be involved - from employees and management to vendors and partners that will support your mission.
Selecting and Utilizing Wellness Services and Offerings.
When considering the various services and offerings that you might like to include in your corporate wellness program, it is important to identify key stakeholders. During this process, it is also important to consider how every individual may be impacted by a wellness initiative. Does your company have the manpower and hours to implement an effective wellness program? Think about ways you can use creative approaches to engage all members of your organization, including those working remotely, in the field, or on part-time schedules. Finally, consider the kind of third-party resources you may need in order to create a successful program.
Defining Strategies for Cultivating and Managing Employee Engagement.
Once you’ve identified who should be included in your corporate wellness program, the next step is to determine how best to engage them. Ask yourself questions such as: Is the program easily accessible? Are there incentives or rewards associated with participation? Will physical distance be taken into account when creating materials or programming? Are the practices supported by behavioral change science? Are there different levels of engagement available to meet everyone's needs and preferences? Developing strategies for fostering engagement with employees can help ensure that your corporate wellness program has a greater impact on overall health and well-being in the workplace.
Developing Metrics for Measuring Performance Outcomes of Your Program.
It’s important to identify and track outcomes associated with your corporate wellness program. Make sure to track outcomes that align with your wellness programs goals. Developing measurable metrics allows you to more effectively promote and evaluate the impact of your program and return on investment. Look at key performance indicators such as employee engagement, health program utilization rates, healthcare cost reduction, overall employee health and wellbeing, longevity in health programs and training programs attendance. Additionally, make sure to consider improvements such as increased productivity, team vitality and morale, or improved relationships between colleagues to gauge success.
