Get to work planning the program. Start planning what your program should look like. Form a budget, research ideas and get input from your employees. A successful wellness program that encompass- es the different areas of health should be based off of employees’ goals, interests and opportunities for improvement. Take the time to assess the health status of your workforce along with employees’ individual wellness goals. Discover which components of wellness your employees need the most help with, and leverage the areas of wellness that employees feel most positive about.


When the time is right, call a company-wide meeting to announce the new wellness program and get into the details. Make sure your employees know everything it includes so they can get the most out of the program.


Get feedback and optimize your wellness program. A successful employee wellness program is never done. Your team should always be open to feedback and new ideas so the program improves and employees get even healthier.


Remember, healthy employees mean a healthy business. An employee wellness program is more than just a cool employee perk. It’s an effective way to ensure your employees are in the right shape to do their best work.
