Brought to you by KCFit.net with our local KC Health and Wellness Resources including Walking Programs. Remember…with every step, we’re (that is you and me) making KC Fit!

Shawn Roderick introduction.

Courtney Lorenz introduction.

Creating Objectives Based On Your Population:

Q. How do you start to get to know your population?

Q. Once you know more about your population, how do you create objectives? What are reasonable expectations? Do you focus on the highest risk factors or is it better to first, focus on a medium risk factor that you feel you can impact quickly?

Compliance:

Q. Where do I start? Are there a set of guidelines or rules that I need to be aware of before starting a wellness program?

Q. Are compliance issues the same from company to company?

Local Resources:

Q. What kind of local resources are out there and how do I approach them? What kind of questions should I be asking?

Q.  What are the costs associated with these local resources? Are there better resources to reach out to based on my company’s population?

Q. I am just a small company, how can I get anyone to give me the time of day?

Funding and Incentives:

Q. How do I sell wellness within my own company? Is there a ROI that I can count on and use to sell upper management?

Q. With the economy the way it is, many of our programs are getting their funding cut, how do I make sure that I continue to get my funding from year to year?

Q. What are the most effective incentives? Can I just give out money or gift cards?

Programs:

Q. Do I need to have a comprehensive program that includes all exercise and nutrition?

Q. How do I get my employees to participate and continue to participate in our programs?

Q. What type of programs are most effective in driving down insurance costs?

Q. Are there any programs that you like or dislike in particular?
