EVALUATION OF A HEALTH WELLNESS PROGRAM
1. RECOMMENDATION FOR THE EVALUATION TOOL FOR A HEALTH
WELLNESS PROGRAM
Evaluation of a health wellness program
Evaluation refers to the measuring of the effectiveness of an activity or a program that
has been implemented for developing a wellness program or to improve or assure the delivery
quality facilities (Aldana et al., 2012).
Two evaluation tools that can be used to measure the attributes of the wellness program
are the health risk assessment (HRA) tools and employee interest survey. Credible sources like
CDC publish health scorecards in order to take a look on the health promotion activities at the
workplace (Eldredge et al., 2016).
Sample employee survey questions:-
A survey involving all the members is necessary and is an integral part of the
development of a health wellness program. Gathering feedback from the employees can help to
maintain the overall consistency of the wellness program (Osilla et al., 2012). There are certain
sample questions that are required to be asked to the employees in order to gain an actual
feedback about the workplace wellness programs. The question can be asked as open ended
questions or in the form of a paper.
Sample questions:-
1. Any wellness program that you have participated before?
2. Did the wellness program mention about the risks factors of ergonomics?

Health risk assessment involves some of the complex methods such as risk evaluation.
Ranking of the lists as per their severity, classifying the acceptability of the risks, risk control,
designing of the safety control measures, implementation of the safety control measures,
preventive measures, training and information, reviewing and updating of the events,
documentation, application of the risk management tools (Aldana et al.,2012). Some of the
common hazards related to workplace involve trips, slips, falls, exposure to noises,
musculoskeletal injuries due to prolonged sitting.
Risk evaluation- Qualitative risk evaluation can be used to calculate the components of the risks.
Qualitative risks mainly are calculated by using a matrix. Most of the risk factors that need
evaluation are repetition of high tasks, forceful exertions and awkward postures while learning.
