An yearly plan for the primary wellness programs and activities is a useful management tool. This is an excellent Employee Health Promotion Committee task. Often an exercise and wellness theme per month is available to employees. Some organizations choose to follow a National Health Observances calendar which offers advantages. The materials developed by these various national health organizations are very credible. The materials are usually high quality and available no cost or at a nominal expense. The business benefits from additional publicity that occurs in various media throughout the area related to the national observance. For planning ideas you may want to utilize the HOPE Publications Wellness Resource Starting Guide available for no cost at this Web site.
