  6. Building the case Fact: The annual return on investment has been up to $6.00 for every $1.00 spent on health promotion programs.* Reality: Gathering facts on employee health risk, lifestyle behaviors and past wellness initiatives will help gain management support for wellness. *(Goetzel RZ, Juday TR, Ozminkowski RJ. What’s the ROI? A systematic review of the return on investment studies of corporate health and productivity management initiatives. AWHP’s Worksite Health. 1999; Summer: 12-21. Pelletier K. A review and analysis of the clinical and cost-effectiveness studies of comprehensive health promotion and disease management programs at the worksite: 1998-2000 update.

  7. Building a program Fact: Creating a successful workplace wellness program requires time and expertise to design, implement, communicate and evaluate Reality: By following the 10 step process provided in the kit an employer will have the tools they need to be successful

  8. Connecting with local and national resources Fact: Designing a health promotion program takes time and expertise that many employees within an organization don’t have Reality: Link to the “resources that work” (vendors, programs, National campaigns or sample policies) in the kit to find examples of innovative approaches to reach employees

  9. Implementing the program Fact: Even with the most well-planned program, there will be challenges and unforeseen road blocks during implementation. Reality: Following the 10 Step process outlined in the toolkit will ensure employers are well prepared during implementation

  10. Evaluating the program Fact: Successful evaluation will ensure longevity of programming efforts to improve employee health. Reality: Learn the key pieces to include in the program plan to ensure program impact is measured successfully
