Next, a budget must be created which includes costs for individuals employed to carry out the health promotion programs, materials used for the health promotion programs, and the health promotion programs given to staff members to encourage them to participate in the health promotion programs.

After the budget is finalized, the wellness program ought to be advertised to the employees through the use of newsletters, meetings, emails, and bulletin boards.
