· Continuous quality improvement
· Feedback
· Evaluation for program outcomes
· Need research and replication to generalize outcomes and broader populations

Best Practice
· Encourage people to change behavior
· Look at both individual and organizational factors

· Build a culture of health, that interweaves individual health needs with overall company goals, and backed by senior leadership

Negative olson_paige https://padlet.com/olson_paige/iz82pmwvvrm2/wish/324743275 Positive Incentives work better than negative incentives. For example, instead of imposing a tobacco surcharge right away, give employees a new policy which will be instituted in the future, giving them time to adjust. Negative incentives pose an "us vs. them" mentality.

The upshot is that at companies that offer wellness programs, only 24% of employees are participating. For companies that provide these programs, it might be time for a checkup.

Work influences physical safety and health Hazards that pose threats to physical safety of workers include, for example, mechanical /machine hazards; electrical hazards; slips and falls from heights; ergonomic hazards such as repetitive motion, awkward posture and excessive force; flying fragments that could injure an eye; or risk of a work-related motor vehicle crash. Physical safety hazards, with the notable exception of motor vehicle crashes, are usually the first type of hazard to be included in health & safety legislation, when it exists. If injuries result from these hazards, they are also the most probable to be covered by any kind of workers’ compensation that is in place (again, with the exception of motor vehicle crashes and also musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
