Employee Health Promotion

Keeping Employee Health Promotion Program data organized is essential in order to be able to determine Employee Health Promotion Program impact and participant progress. Use the simple steps below to keep your data organized.

Manage Employee Health Promotion Program data electronically.

• Storing Employee Health Promotion Program outcomes data electronically is the best way to manage that information.
• An electronic system will enable you to review and analyze the data more efficiently.
• Scan old surveys and other Employee Health Promotion Program information that exist only on paper into .pdf format for permanent storage.

Find the Employee Health Promotion Program system that works best for you.

• Some workers are more comfortable with spreadsheet applications; others prefer to work with database applications.
• You will be more likely to use a Employee Health Promotion Program that you are familiar and/or comfortable with.
• Standardize data collection and organization. Keep data columns/fields in the same order for all Employee Health Promotion Programs.

Keep the Employee Health Promotion Program as simple as possible.

• You do not have to be a Wellness Programming wizard or use complicated data entry interfaces in order to manage Employee Health Promotion Program outcomes data.
• A simple spreadsheet is an excellent way to keep your data organized.

Store all Employee Health Promotion Program data numerically.

• Using numbers (instead of words) will make the data much easier to enter and analyze. For example: use “1” for yes; “0” for no OR “1” for male; “2” for female.
• Number survey responses that contain strings of words. For example: instead of entering the responses: “patient education videos”, “news,” or “no TV,” number the responses so you only have to enter “1,” “2,” or “3.”

Label all Employee Health Promotion Program data clearly.

• Ensure that all the data columns, rows, or fields are labeled. The data is worthless if you don’t know what data is in which column.
• The spreadsheet/database should include an explanation for column, row, field, and data abbreviations and a key for numbered responses.

Use consistent Employee Health Promotion Program data units.

• Ensure that all data entered into a given column is expressed with the same unit of measure. For example, enter all heights as total inches, not as a combination of feet and inches.
Putting your data in order by using a simple system that works for you will enable you to track participant accomplishments. Keeping your data organized also makes it easier to communicate Employee Health Promotion Program impact to leadership and make Employee Health Promotion Program improvements as needed.
