  1. Designation Program Re-StructuredTeam WorkWell Roadmap & Application Sonja Dordal | November 5, 2013

  2. Background • Pilot programs that established foundation of designation program – funded by Senate Bill 5930 from July 2007-June 2011. • Washington Wellness Worksite (W3) – 18 mos • Silver, Gold, Platinum levels • 11 State Agencies and 1 Higher Ed Institution were awarded designation 2011-2012 • Five agencies awarded for the second time • 1 Higher Ed Institution recognized for achieving significant commitment

  3. Reasons for the Re-Design • Want more organizations to participate • Process intimidating, confusing • Application itself cumbersome • Levels not well-defined • Length awkward • Want a team approach – everyone on board working toward the same end goals • “Designation” more top-down • Open to a name change • Name vague

  4. Re-Design Process • Formed a small Re-Design Team • Researched best practice standards • CDC Scorecard • Health & Human Services, Healthy People 2020 • HERO (Health Enhancement Research Org) Scorecard • WELCOA (Wellness Councils of America) Benchmarks and Checklist • Researched worksite wellness type awards • Golden Apple Award (Healthy Worksite Summit) • WellCity (Association of Washington Cities) • Fit-Friendly Company Award (American Heart Association) • Corporate Health and Productivity Management Awards (Institute for Heath & Productivity Management or IHPM) • Value-based Health Awards (IHPM) • Koop Awards (Health Enhancement Research Org) • Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award (Amer Psychol Asso) • Well Workplace Awards (WELCOA)

  5. Re-Design Recommendations • Team made recommendations based on research • Consulted WW Advisory Group • Recommended these structures: • 8 Best Practice Standards • Leadership support • Organization of roles/program management • Needs Assessment/data • Plan/identify goals and objectives • Implementation: programs/interventions • Environmental structures • Communications/Health and program promotion/employee engagement • Evaluation

  6. Re-Design Recommendations • Further structural recommendations: • One award for both state agencies and higher ed • One level with flexibility for differences between organizations (required and optional items) • Establish length at 12 months • Have a specific application deadline (Feb 1st) • Include clear expectations • Include a mentor/mentee opportunity

  7. Re-Design Recommendations • Further structural recommendations: • Application and re-application must be easy • Re-application = simple checklist These not yet operational: • Application should be completed online • Consider ‘special recognition’ awards in addition to the basic award • Consider having different special awards for state agencies/higher ed • Consider making innovation a motivator – potentially awarding program innovation

  8. Re-Design as Team • Most major difference is our team approach • Get all on the “Wellness Bus” • JOINING up with minimal requirements • Use the “Roadmap” • USE the roadmap as a structural guide • Start where you are • Get (and give) support/tools/help • Get recognized • USE the roadmap as an application to get recognized and get the Award

  9. Re-Branding Efforts • Criteria for the name: • Focus on teamwork • Bold, Action-Oriented • Energetic • Concise • Appropriate for Diverse audiences • Easily spelled and pronounced • Memorable • Timeless • Trademark possible

  10. New Names! • Team WorkWell • Bold, energetic, concise • Conveys spirit of WW – inclusion, solidarity, accomplishment. • Leading with “Team” (positive, belonging, support) • WorkWell – double meaning (working well together & positive impact on broader workforce) • Zo 8 Award • Fun, memorable, more empty vessel • Greek = “living” or “live” • Adds visual interest and links directly to 8 best practice standards • Given in recognition of ‘living’ the 8 best practice standards for workplace wellness • Logo & Tagline • Not yet finalized

  11. Join Today! • Participation: Leadership support & Coordinator • Executive Order (instructs agencies to take part) • Results Washington (we’ll report on participation and progress toward the 8 standards) • Joining Team WorkWell, application short and ready now • Commit to joining by end 2013 • WorkWell Roadmap & Zo 8 Award Application • Ready mid-November
