Definition of Best Practices in Worksite Wellness

# data[].attributes.body
Workplace wellness can be defined as comprehensive health promotion approaches and strategies implemented at the worksite that includes programs, policies, benefits, and environmental supports designed to educate and encourage healthy behaviors amongst staff and employees. It is important that worksite wellness programs contain a combination of individual and organizational level interventions to have the greatest impact. Best practices in worksite wellness programs often focus on behavior change to reduce health risks, reduce prevalence of disease, and reduce employee related expenses. Worksite wellness programs often improve the health, morale, and productivity of employees which in turn increases the company’s ROI. Many worksite wellness programs focus on awareness & education, employee motivation, providing essential skills & tools, and creating a positive worksite culture and environment. By focusing on these areas, a worksite wellness program is more likely to successfully implement healthy lifestyle changes amongst the organization.

Community Health Assessment- Culture of Health

# data[].attributes.body
The Association for Community Health Improvement’s Community Health Assessment Toolkit offers a nine-step pathway for conducting and developing implementation strategies. This nine-step tool kit includes these steps; reflect and strategize, identify and engage stakeholders, define the community, collect and analyze data, prioritize community health issues, document and communicate results, plan implementation strategies, implement strategies and evaluate progress.  This toolkit would be very helpful in providing a detailed outline for integrating a community health program and incorporating a positive culture of health throughout a community, public and the key stakeholders involved.
