Complete Corporate Wellness Programs emphasize follow-up and offers backing for the employee as long as he/she is employed. Research studies have demonstrated this approach to be highly successful. Key components are planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Planning accross the board Workplace Health Promotion Programs involve performing a needs and interest assessment, appointing a Workplace Health Promotion Program Committee, selecting wellness providers, setting goals/objectives for the corporate wellness program, marketing/promoting the program, and instituting procedures to ensure confidentiality.
