Drafting a Work Plan

Develop a plan. Armed with the summary of the interest surveys, develop a comprehensive plan for change taking into account employees needs and employers desires and abilities. Find common areas of interest among the employees (i.e. weight management, stress management), determine what you might be able to do to encourage behavior changes overcome barriers and offer solutions.
Identify a goal. This goal should be attainable and measurable. Model your goals around what they are telling you they want. They are more likely to be involved when there is interest. If your employees have said they aren’t getting enough exercise, consider introducing a pedometer program. Set a goal to increase the number of sets people walk by 5-10% over a 6 week period. Perhaps there isn’t an existing tobacco policy at the worksite, or there is but employees are not aware of it or the policy is not being enforced. An achievable goal would be to develop, educate and enforce a tobacco policy. Success could then be measured by whether or not a policy was implemented and if employees were aware of their existence.
Find a champion. Find out if there is someone in the workforce that has an interest and could be a champion in moving things forward. Develop timelines for setting and attaining achievable goals and share responsibilities.
