Proven Corporate Health Promotion Plan Strategies – Part 2

Evaluation of successful Corporate Wellness Programs has revealed several primary Corporate Health Promotion Plan strategies to increase Corporate Health Promotion Plan effectiveness and impact overall Soldier health.

Strategy #5: Using a small number of targeted priorities maintains Corporate Health Promotion Plan focus.
• Needs assessment data can be used to establish leading health/wellness needs and also high risk populations.
• Choosing a handful of specific health/wellness needs on which to focus will maximize efficient use of resources.
• Keeping the Corporate Health Promotion Plan focus small will avoid duplication of other ongoing company Corporate Wellness Programs.

Strategy #6: Use standardized processes whenever possible.

Reduce the amount of variation within your Corporate Wellness Programs by standardizing all the processes needed for Corporate Health Promotion Plan planning and implementation. By way of example:
• Use the same spreadsheet format for data collection so that the columns are in the same order. This way you can compare data more easily.
• Reuse the same forms for enrollment and attendance. Change the heading as needed.
• Look at other Corporate Health Promotion Plan processes (like registration, evaluation, marketing, etc.). What parts of those processes can be standardized?
• The Wellness and Prevention Initiatives website (http://chppmwww. apgea.army.mil/dhpw/Population/HPPiFunction.aspx) has many standardized Corporate Health Promotion Plan resources in a variety of topic areas.

Strategy #7: Corporate Health Promotion Plan delivery methods should be flexible and adapted to population needs.
• Delivery of products and services may depend on: company needs, training requirements, other scheduling considerations (such as work/duty schedules, school scheduling, etc.), participant preference, and/or availability of staff or space.
• Be flexible: the same produce/service delivery methods may not work for every population.
• Some company’s may want services provided to them as close as possible to the company location; other companies may prefer as many services as possible bundled together at once (regardless of location).
• Take wellness and preventive medicine beyond the walls of the organization in order to meet leadership and employee needs. Answer the question: “How can we best help leadership and Employees to fulfill their mission?”
