Build a successful wellness program and know the strategies and programs that need to be included to
make a successful wellness program. Beyond the immediate requests from the company keep in mind the
bigger picture of wellness; emotional, financial, environmental, intellectual, physical, spiritual, social,
occupational.
Evaluation Method(s)-
● Provide an explanation of an evaluation you would recommend to provide the company feedback to
modify the program and measure change.
● If applicable provide an example survey, scorecards, quizzes, etc.
Stakeholders-
● Describe whether you recommend a “wellness champion” or a “wellness committee” and explain why
● Explain recommended roles and responsibilities of the aforementioned including who you believe needs
to be involved in order for this program to succeed
● If using a “wellness champion” describe how frequently you recommend this person meet with his/she
supervisor to provide program updates
● If using a “wellness committee” describe how frequently you recommend the committee meets
Sign-up/Registration Methods-
● Describe the methods you will use for sign-ups or registrations
● If you recommend charging any participation fees be sure to include this here along with your rationale for
including a fee(s) (e.g. $5 fee/person to offset cost of fitbit for winner of incentive program)
Marketing Methods-
● Explain the methods you will use to market the program to employees and why
Strategies for Engagement-
● Describe what methods you will use in order to entice employees to participate
● Provide an example of at least one incentive to be implemented
Annual Calendar-
● Create a calendar similar to the one on page 60 of the Wisconsin Worksite Wellness manual to help the
organization identify timing of your specific focus areas and interventions.
hich are either unstable [49, 50] or have unacceptably low bioavailability in non-nanoparticulate dosage forms[51, 52] ; (2) they control and sustain release of the drug during the transportation and at the site of localization [53], varying organ distribution of the drug and subsequent clearance of the drug so as to achieve increase in drug therapeutic efficacy and reduction in side effects [54]; (3) site-specific targeting can be achieved by attaching targeting ligands to surface of particles or use of magnetic guidance [55, 56]; (4) controlled release and particle degradation characteristics can be readily modulated by the choice of matrix constituents. Due to biodegradability, pH, ion and/or temperature sensibility of materials they allow sustained drug release within the target site over a period of days or weeks [40, 57]; (5) they can pass through smallest capillary vessels and be taken up by cells, which allow efficient drug accumulation at the target sites [58-60] because of their ultra-tiny volume and avoiding rapid clearance by phagocytes so their duration in blood stream is deeply prolonged. This is especially needed for tumors which are characterized by extensive angiogenesis, defective vascular architecture, impaired lymphatic drainage and increased production of permeability factors. This phenomenon is known as the enhanced permeability and retention effect [13, 57, 61]; (6) increased active agent surface area results in a faster dissolution of the active agent in an aqueous environment, such as the human body. Faster dissolution generally equates with greater bioavailability, smaller drug doses, less toxicity[62]. (7) Can be used for different routes of administration, including oral, nasal, intra-ocular and surface characteristics can be simply manipulated to achieve both passive and active drug targeting after parenteral administration and (8) reduction in fed/fasted variability (9) due to the impressive bioavailability, better encapsulation, control release and less toxic properties, various nanoparticle systems with biodegradable polymers such as PLGA, P
