Elements in a Quality Wellness Program
• Upper management buy-in
• Employee buy-in/wellness committee
• A clear plan
• Program organization for ease of implementation
• Launch date
Developing the Program
When developing your wellness program the needs of the employees MUST be the number one priority. If the program is developed for upper management or the wellness coordinator your program will not be well received by the people it was intended for.
Some pitfalls Tricon Timber experienced
• Only developing one aspect of the program
If you are tobacco free you will receive a 15% discount on your monthly insurance premium
• Every employee must be able to gain something from the program
From physical fitness to being enrolled in a tobacco cessation course
• Not making the items available at the work place
Such as a tobacco cessation course
• Overthinking the program (it’s not brain surgery)
Make the program as easy as possible for success
Our program…Easy
To receive a 15% discount on your monthly insurance premium you must:
Either be tobacco free or enrolled in a tobacco cessation course. This will require a voluntary blood draw to confirm that you are tobacco free.
The employee who is looking to achieve a healthy weight:
The employee will receive 50% of all out of pocket expenses reimbursed to them after completing a doctor approved weight loss program and maintaining the healthy weight for six months.
Employees who are enrolled in a gym can receive 100% of their gym membership reimbursed by completing two 30 minute workouts a week (honor system) or the employee can receive a 15% monthly insurance premium discount by completing three weekly 45 minute workouts (honor system).
At the end of the year if the employee has been actively participating in the program for the full year they will receive a premium holiday for the month of December for the employee portion of the insurance premium.
