Worksite Wellness

Assess the Need

A worksite wellness assessment describes employee health risks and concerns, current health promotion practices (policies, activities, etc.) and capacities, and opportunities to reduce risks through current, enhanced, or improved practices.

Assessments should be made of the organization, the workforce, and the physical environment.  For a comprehensive assessment, use the tools below:

Organization Assessment-Evaluates current programs, services and policies, and identifies areas for improvement.

The CDC Worksite Health ScoreCard

Worksite Assessment- Surveys employees on demographics, health risks, and health and program interests.

National Healthy Worksite Program Health and Safety Climate Survey (INPUTS)

The CDC Steps to Wellness Employee Physical Activity Needs and Interest Survey

Environment Assessment-Examines aspects of the physical workplace, such as facilities and employee settings, as well as access and opportunities for wellness programs within facilities and surrounding communities.
