Lack of engagement, a shortage of leadership support and complicated incentives all have the potential to derail your wellness program before it starts. Lisa Stovall, communications and marketing director at TotalWellness shared with About.com Human Resources a few tips about how to build a successful workplace wellness program and some things to avoid. Here are a few highlights:
- DON’T leave people unsure of how the program works.
- DO communicate consistently and often.
- DON’T call it a Human Resources project or initiative.
- DO position the wellness program as something much bigger. Think about how the program will strategically impact the business and how it plays a role in your culture.
