7. Planning FrameWork • PROCEDE / PRECEDE Framework • This model provides a template for the process of conceiving, planning, implementing, and evaluating the intervention • It is structured as a participatory model to incorporate ideas that will maximally help achieve the program targets. • This framework enables the program executers to collect more accurate information. • It helps building ownership of the intervention, leading to more organizational support and a greater chance of success. • It incorporates evaluation of the process, the intervention itself, and the final outcome that allows momentum monitoring and response to gaps.

8. Applied Theories • Transtheoretical Model (TTM) • This model would cover people at different stages that have different information needs. It will allow putting the target population in the appropriate stage and provide information, so that anticipated benefits from the intervention can be achieved. • Community Model (CM) • This model addresses individuals, group, and organizational issues. It will enable the implementation team to target different points on the organizational levels, learn about their unique characteristics and develop interventions applicable to that group.

9. Cont: Applied Theories • Social Cognitive Model (SCT) • SCT theory explain that people learn others behaviors; therefore, participants will have a role model who shares the same characteristics as the target population. A selected Role Model is to be selected; i.e., the company CEO to launch the program. The role model to be chosen will be based on popularity, power, trust and preference

10. Future Outlook • Upon successful implementation of the program and objectives achievement, the program is proposed to be cascaded to Das Island, Rigs, Mussafah Base and the headquarter. The program is developed in such a way that makes it transferable and adoptable by any organization therefore can easily be transferred to other sister companies that share similar characteristics. by that we can achieve standardization in health and safety level across the ADNOC group and companies Our goal is: Sustainable Health via “Workplaces Wellness”
