I recently had an interesting conversation with one of the coordinators who is implementing "Feel Like a Million" in her workplace. She shared a couple concerns about helping people to communicate better (her company chose to divide employees into teams) and reminding them to log their points. After discussing what she had already accomplished, she realized she overlooked an outstanding resource--the company's 24-hr in-house television broadcasting station! She decided she would talk to the internal broadcasting person to design a commercial especially for the wellness program, which would help people remember to log hours and talk to their team members. She also said she wasn't sure how to get some of the male employees involved (many blue collar workers) with the program. I explained that she, and anyone else in her workplace, could expand the activities relating to wellness. Perhaps the program needed to be changed a little so everyone could relate well to the program's goals. Hunting, fishing, watching a football game with friends, seeing a live band, poker night, could all be an example of wellness on various levels. Ask employees for their input on how the program can be changed to fit THEIR needs better. Afterall, the program is for them and you can be as creative as you wish!
