April 24 Wellness Presentation for Employer Groups

April 7, 2008

Evaluation & Assessment of a Worksite Health Promotion Program

We know that when it comes to health care, you probably have similar goals as ours – to keep costs low and your employees as healthy as possible. In 2008, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield will be conducting monthly presentations on health promotion and wellness.

The April presentation will identify tools that you can use to evaluate the different stages of your worksite health promotion program. Nancy Lesch, a CareFirst Health Promotion Specialist, will explain the following evaluation tools/techniques:

  • Planning stage: Environmental scan, benchmarking, data collection
  • Implementation stage: Program evaluation, risk assessments, biometric screenings
  • Evaluation stage: ROI, cost benefit analysis, process improvements

These free presentations provide you with the opportunity to learn about what health promotion and wellness programs are all about, why companies invest in these programs and how you can start developing a wellness program of your own. Our Health Promotion Specialists conduct extensive research to put together these presentations so that you can start to see the value in promoting healthy lifestyles at your worksite.

Please feel free to send along this invitation PDF to anyone in your organization that may benefit from the April presentation. Participants will include employer benefit administrators, health promotion advocates, wellness ambassadors or company executives.

To register for the April 24 WebEx presentation, please visit www.carefirst.com/webex. There is no limit to the number of participants per company who may register.

We hope these monthly presentations will be helpful to you in achieving your company's wellness goals!

Please Note: For those of you looking to the May event, it is scheduled for May 29. The planned topic is, "How Many and How Much? - Participation and Incentives in Health Promotion Programs."
