Work Wellness program

jlynnem13

Hi there, my work has put me in charge of putting together a Wellness program for my office. I have a few ideas to get started and a couple challenges BUT I need to help!!! I don't want to make it 100% about weight loss. There are several people that I work with that don't need to lose weight. I am thnking about putting together a wellness board in our kitchen with upcoming events, a weekly menu with breakfast, lunch, and snack ideas based on the food that we provide (I go shopping every Monday for food for the whole office). I am also going to put together a Monthly wellness flyer. I want to get everyone water bottles and pedometers. What else can I do???? I need so help fast. This came to me today and they want to start it the 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since ours is supported by HR and the Health Insurance company (as it is a Nurse from the Insurance company that runs it) we have a cash incentive... But it's a points based system where we get points for getting our yearlies (medical, dental and optical), for having healthy numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, A1C)... for not smoking, for being a certian weight.... points are given if we change our habits (proof is shown by not smoking, losing weight or bettering our numbers)... We also get points for using trackers for 8 weeks, taking quizzes, exercising 12x a month, going to our local rec centers... and the points lead to cash prizes which are based on point tiers.

Just an example of what our work place does.
