A Health team is an important component to a successful wellness program. They not only serve as health promoters, but provide a means that employees can truly own the program.Think about how difficult it would be to launch new activities and changes around the worksite ALONE. The Health Team can act as a support system for each other, when there is resistance and negativity going on from other employees.
Remember: when creating a health team it is important you have individuals from all departments and fitness levels. It's hard to get participation and buy-in from others when the health team consists of all management and health nuts!
Other things to look for in health team members:
· -Highly motivated about wellness
· -Are good wellness role models
-Are comfortable expressing opinions
-Are comfortable expressing opinions
-Are in positions of authority within the company
· -Can represents a major group of employees in the company
Together Everyone Accomplishes More!
