Planning the Company Wellness Program
• Determine how your organization plans so that your planning process will be in sync with what already happens in the company.
• Involve other workers. A planning team brings their combined experience and perspective to the process. Including potential partners as you plan will make it easier to get their buy-in later.
Thinking of the big picture
• Look at the barriers and challenges that might be encountered during Company Wellness Program implementation. Develop strategies ahead of time to overcome these potential problems.
• Do a SWOT assessment and examine Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
This assessment will help you identify potential problem areas or resource shortfalls as well as opportunities for growth or increased partnerships with other company personnel.
The WORST corporation planning strategy: sitting in your office; working by yourself.
The best Company Wellness Program corporation planning strategies
• Get out of your office; get out of the corporation. The more workers you involve in the Company Wellness Program planning process, the better. Always look for ways to expand your network.
• Keep your budget workers informed. Get to know their philosophy of financial management.
• Be able to articulate the impact if your budget is not fully funded.
o Avoid basing your impact-if-not-funded argument only on: “We have to.”
o Instead, describe the impact-if-not-funded with phrases like: injuries to workers, increased compensation costs, increased medical care costs for patients, lost work time, loss of licenses/accreditations, loss of workload to the Tricare network.
• Always have purchase requests ready to be submitted. There is often a short window of time to process these requests. Having the information gathered ahead of time will make it easy to submit the information right away.
A well thought-out Company Wellness Program corporation plan is critical in these times of shrinking budgets and resources. A good corporation plan will help you gain leadership support and help you get and keep resources needed to start the Corporate Health Promotion Program.
