  1. EMPLOYEE engagement No matter what our goals for the wellness program, without employee engagement, the program will not be successful. • Employee engagement is the holy grail of health and productivity programs. • Employers that have achieved success from wellness programs recognize the role of interconnecting the aspects of health, work and personal lives.

  2. FIVE WAYS TO ENCOURAGE EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATION • Empower social groups • Make it interesting • Track, report and update employees • Keep things simple • Hold on-site activities

  3. MAKE IT SOCIAL Human beings are social animals. No one wants to be singled out for behavior modification. Good health spreads through social networks • Things like obesity, alcohol consumption, and smoking travel through social networks. • When you exercise, the people around you are more likely to exercise. • Social support and accountability keep people involved. • People we like and respect encourage behavior change in us. We want to be like them. • Social programs extend beyond work to family and friends. • Successful programs take a “we’re all in this together” approach.

  4. Make it interesting • Try engaging staff in health gaming and healthy competition • Gaming taps into the competitive fires we all have and as we play a game, we become more engaged, feel a greater sense of accomplishment and are more willing to go the extra mile. • Involve social networking between employees and districts • This encourages friendly competition between districts • Allows for quick view of results of their competition • Keeps interest high

  5. Track-report-and update • People always want to know how they measure up against those around them. • This knowledge provides a benchmark for success. • When hosting wellness activities, share results with employees. • Weekly updates of what’s going on, who’s doing well, and what others can do to jump in on the action help stoke the fire and provide a recap of all the activities that are going on.

  6. KEEP IT SIMPLE • At times we all fall victim to getting lost in the details. • We’re inundated by messaging and it can become overwhelming. • Keep messaging clear and consistent. • Make the call to action the same through different mediums. • Appeal on an emotional level with your messaging. • Always step back and read your message before sending.

  7. Hold On-site activities • By holding on-site activities employees are more motivated to get involved because their friends get involved. • Nothing brings everything together like hands-on involvement. • Setting people up on teams provides social support and accountability. • The spirit of friendly competition encourages employees. • Public recognition can be an incentive. • Altruistic opportunities encourages employees to participate. • Employees are more inclined to participate in group activities and help others. • Over time these behaviors create lasting connections to continue the healthy behaviors over the long term.
