But how do your design and run a successful employee wellness program?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some steps to establish and design a workplace wellness program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conduct-an-employee-survey\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conduct_an_employee_survey\"><\/span><strong>Conduct an employee survey<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/engagewith\/pulse-survey\/?utm_source=springworks-blog&amp;utm_medium=employee-wellness-program-ideas&amp;utm_campaign=springworks-blog-conversion\">Doing an internal pulse survey is a great way<\/a> to determine what kind of things your employees want and would value. You can ask questions like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat are your health goals?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo you think conducting wellness programs during office hours is helpful?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo you feel that we could do more to support you with your physical and mental health? If so, how?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides guidance on designing<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/workplacehealthpromotion\/model\/employee-level-assessment\/designing-surveys.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> an employee survey<\/a>, including examples of survey topic areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leadership-support\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leadership_Support\"><\/span><strong>Leadership Support<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a harsh truth: <strong>Your employee wellness program will not work without support from the leadership team.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building and launching a successful employee wellness program takes time, money, and resources. And leadership buy-in is critical for funding purposes, guidance, getting support throughout the organization, and for approving program policies and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-appoint-well-being-champions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Appoint_Well-being_Champions\"><\/span><strong>Appoint Well-being Champions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is, creating an internal well-being champions\u2019 team to lead your program and build a wellness culture in the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that management sets clear and measurable objectives and supports them with a budget. Here are some responsibilities of the wellness champions\u2019 team:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Evaluating the current workplace programs and policies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assessing employee needs and preferences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Developing a wellness program plan and process (which includes a vision statement, goals, objectives, and activities)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitoring and evaluating the wellness program<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-establish-a-budget\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Establish_a_budget\"><\/span><strong>Establish a budget<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a critical step. Without a sufficient budget, the program will stall.
