Posted in Corporate Wellness, Wellness Library | By admin | Tags: Corporate Wellness, health, medical, Wellness Library
Evaluations determine the outcome of a Workplace Health Promotion Program. They help you figure out if your objectives were met. It is a good idea to add an evaluation component to your Workplace Health Promotion Program.
Evaluations may conclude that some interventions didn’t work well. You may find that a popular Company Health Promotion Program expenditures too much and didn’t really affect employees’ health. While these may not be the outcomes you hoped for, without this information you might continue ineffective interventions. Having this information will help you advance better solutions. When your results are great, it’s magnificent! You can spread the word to employees and management that your program is achieving its objectives.
Three primary areas of an assessment
• Workplace Wellness Program structure – The basic framework of the program
• Worksite Health Promotion Program process – How well the program is run
