Step 2: Wellness Goals & Objectives

Before you begin designing wellness policies or programs, it’s important to have specific goals identified and objectives developed for each of the goals. These should come from the assessments and should be created with input from management and staff. One of the best ways to gain employee input is to develop a wellness team .

A wellness team brings management and staff together to develop and implement worksite wellness policies and/or programs. This increases the chance that all employees have a voice. The team also helps motivate employees at all levels in order to ensure the success of the program. If you are a small business and are not able to put together a wellness team, it is recommended that you assign a wellness coordinator to develop the goals and objectives.

The following are four common areas under which worksite wellness goals and objectives have been developed. Use these examples as a guide in developing your goals and objectives.
