PHASE I

MUST FIRST ANSWER FOUR BASIC QUESTIONS: (THESE CAN BE ANSWERED FROM THE COMPANY PROFILE INTERVIEW)

1. ORGANIZATION’S READINESS FOR A WHP?

When I spoke to my professor Ben Howard he was really interested when I showed him my newsletter and talked to him about the WHP project. He said that we have now wellness program at T.J. Samson and he was excited to talk to his wellness director about the WHP project.

T.J. Samson expected a realistic outcome because they are having a contract with other WHP now.

1. HOW PARTICIPATIVE WILL MANAGEMENT BE?

The management will be very successful by the beneficial classes and the groups support.

PHASE II

(COLLECTING DATA) DETERMINES IF THE ORGANIZATION SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT DEVELOP A PROGRAM

-IDENTIFICATION

IDENTIFIES HEALTH-RELATED PROBLEMS

1. Diabetes

1. Smoking

1. Physical Activity

1. Depression

1. Obesity

Mr. Howard said that we have many employees that have anxiety but there are a huge number of employees who take a medication for stress and anxiety. Most of the employees are obese because all they do is sitting in front of the computer and assist others. Now T.J. Samson is doing the best for their employees to help them be healthy, educated, and active.

-ASSESSMENT

They have done a need assessment with the Barren River Community Health Planning Council before in 2016 and most of the information it’ on their website and it talks about all the PROVIDER CAPACITY ISSUES, BARRIERS TO ACCESSING HEALTH SERVICES, AND POPULATIONS WITH ACCESS ISSUES OR BARRIERS

1. QUESTIONS FOR A FEASIBILTY STUDY:

1. WHAT ARE THE ORGANIZATION’S MOTIVES FOR CONSIDERING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROGRAM? T.J. Samson wellness director is trying to do the best to help their employees to be healthy and because of the anxiety, presentessim, and the aging workforce so T.J. Samson facing lots of health problems and they’re trying to avoid all the causes of these issues and help them be better.

1. ORGANIZATION’S GOALS FOR CONSIDERING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROGRAM? T.J. Samson’s goals is to avoid the causes of the health issues and make their employees healthy and be able to do their work perfectly.

1. IS THIS PROGRAM COST EFFECTIVE FOR THE ORGANZATION? YES OR NO AND WHY. yes, the program will actually be cost-effective because they have to hire trainers for the WHP and to make healthy meals which that will cost them more more because all the ingredients will be fresh and new.

1. DOES ORGANIZATION HAVE ACCESS TO RESOURCES NEEDED? When I went to their website and looked at their news letter I does not talk about helping them be improved and giving them some diabetic and diet recipes. Also they do not provide an on-site fitness center.

1. WHAT ARE THE KEY FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED DURING THE DESIGN OF THE PROGRAM? I want the program “A Healthier You” to be beneficial which it will include some physical activities, diabetes checking, yoga cessions, and educational newsletter to get them to know about their risks.

-PLANNING

REVIEW COLLECTED DATA IN PREVIOUS SECTION TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOUR QUESTIONS:

1. HOW PREVALENT IS THE PROBLEM? The problems are very prevalent based on what Mr. Howard said that the biggest risk that we had is depression/anxiety but this issue won’t be solve with the medication that why I suggested to make a yoga cessions to decrease the anxiety rate of the employees.

1. WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROBLEM? The problems are diabetes, obesity, depression, smoking, and physical activity are effecting the employees health. These issues can make the employees to be lazy and not do the work that they are supposed to do.

1. WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM? The cause of the problems could be lot’s of work that can make the employee depressed and not having a time for vacation, do not have enough time to eat healthy meals and that way most of the employee are obese, diabetic, and less physical active.

1. WHICH WORKERS IN THE COMPANY ARE AT GREATEST RISK? The employees that are in risk are the ones who aged 45-50 years old because these ages need to have a special care to stay healthy and active. Also the employees who are obese because they will feel heavy and lazy to get their work done.

PHASE III

DEVELOPMENT & IMPLEMENTATION

DEVELOP A MARKETING STRATEGY USING THE 4 PS OF MARKETING

1. Product: is a WHP program that offer services for the employees to help them lose weight, be active, eating healthy meals, and reduce depression.

1. Price: the employees will be changed only $17.00 a month to get into the fitness center but the walking track and the support cessions will be free just to encourage the employees to participate.

1. Placement: All the employees will be able to participate in the “A Healthier You” program. The benefit of the program will goes to employees who attend cession, exercise, and eat healthy meals.

1. Promotion: we will use a freebies such as T-shirts and health screenings. We also will use a posters on walls and sending news newsletter through their emails so that will allow all the employees to have an access for more information about the program.

DESCRIBE METHODS TO PROMOTE PROGRAM ADHERENCE AND WAYS TO RECRUIT EMPLOYEES THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE AND HIGH RISK EMPLOYEES

All the employees will get a monthly newsletter and the posters to inform them about the program “A Healthier You” and if they heard from their teamwork that they are going to participate so that will encourage them to be involve in the program. We also will provide a fitness membership that cost $17.00 a month and we can do a discount for the employees that will go regularly

DISCUSS HOW THESE INFLUENCING FACTORS MIGHT AFFECT IMPLEMENTATION

The program will be effective if the employees did not have the time to be participated in the “A Healthier You” program.

EVALUATION

The program “A Healthier You” have goals and objectives that will be provided for all the employees and especially for those who are suffering from diabetes, obesity, physical activity, and depression.

In the beginning I would like to do a need and interest assessment because T.J. Samson haven’t done one since 2016. When the employees will be interested in our program then we offer a Free health screenings include: glucose, lipid panel, total cholesterol, bone density, height/weight, body fat analysis/body mass index and blood pressure checks every 3 months to know if our program is beneficial for them or not. We also will do a needs assessment or survey every month to know what the employees still need and also from this assessment we will have a feedback to know of our program does succeeded or not.
