What Types of Programs do your Employees Want?

An employee interest survey is important to determine when, where and what types of programs employees would be interested in participating. It can also provide information about how ready employees are to change unhealthy habits and adopt healthy behaviors.

Wellness Programs
There are three levels of programming, each defined by the outcome desired to be achieved.

Level	Desired Outcome	Examples
Awareness	Disseminate information	Bulletin boards, flyers, newsletters, etc.
Education	Increase knowledge	Health screenings- blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, etc; cooking demonstrations
Behavior Change	Change behaviors	Walking clubs, yoga classes, smoking cessation classes
