Aligning program support with interventions for optimum impact Journal Article uri icon
Overview
abstract
  • The implementation of every worksite health promotion program calls for a set of programmatic solutions or interventions (you may call these programs, services, the "program mix," etc.) that provide the options, choices, and resources employees may select from as they participate in the program. As part of a well-designed program, these interventions tend to be a reflection of a set of actions taken by the worksite health promotion staff that include analyses of current health status among employees, health care expenditures, willingness and interest of employees to take action and participate in health improvement services, functional status, and perhaps even productivity metrics that reflect worker performance, among others. These interventions also need to be implemented in a supportive context to allow for positive results to be generated. This context is certainly reflective of a "supportive environment" for health promotion but also includes processes and procedures that will allow for successful implementation of worksite health promotion programs. In a sense, it combines a variety of best practice guidelines with best program solutions to optimize outcomes and likelihood for success.
