Health Wellness ProgramHealth and Wellness Programs and Wellness Program Consulting

Evaluations determine the outcome of a Worksite Health Promotion Program. They help you figure out if your objectives were met. It is a good idea to add an evaluation component to your Worksite Health Promotion Program.

Evaluations may conclude that some interventions didn’t work well. You may discover that a popular Company Health Promotion Program expenditures too much and didn’t really affect employees’ health. While these may not be the outcomes you hoped for, without this information you might continue ineffective interventions. Having this information will help you develop better solutions. When your results are good, it’s magnificent! You can spread the word to staff members and management that your program is achieving its objectives.

Three major areas of an assessment

• Company Wellness Program structure – The basic framework of the program
