Wellness Program?

We have a lot of Wellness Programs here at the hospital. In fact, we have one person who heads up that program alone and works full time only on that. I guess we have partnered up with Mayo Clinic because I get a newsletter from them every so often. I can forward that to you if you'd like.... maybe you can get some ideas from it. It is all done online (the Wellness reporting and information part) so I'm not sure if I can forward that stuff but what I can forward, I will. I will ask our lady (Dawn) to see if she has any suggestions for small companies who are not affiliated with a hospital or has access to the hospital facilities.

We are partnered with our health insurance now but before that we did different challenges. The prizes were small things like water bottles and bragging rights. We had a step challenge (someone donated pedometers) to see if we could walk to Hawaii before spring break (we did it), biggest stepper received the prize. We've done several variations of that. We also did a 5 a day fruit and vegi challenge, once a week via survey monkey we had to fill out questions about our week. Same thing with a weight one. The only thing that showed progress was something they colored in as the pounds came off and that was also done via survey monkey. Kickball game at the park afterwork. We have a gym so we've also done badmitton. The one I liked best is we received a quick 20 minute talk about stress relief. I drug my feet in the door ended up leaving with some valuable information that helps me sleep to this day. Hope that helps.
