Corporate Wellness

One of the potential jobs you could have someday is working as a Certified Worksite Wellness Specialist for a large corporate organization. Corporate Wellness Practitioners or Certified Worksite Wellness Specialists work at organizations to assess, analyze, and improve the health of an organization’s employees. Employee wellness programs have been shown to have many benefits for the employee and employer. Employees spend 36% (or more) of their time on the job (Texas Department of State Health Services (Links to an external site.), n.d.). Employees who participate in wellness programs can improve their physical and mental health, boost morale at work, and reduce stress, absenteeism, and healthcare costs. Therefore, the organizations’ cultural climate and productivity are improved as well (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2013).

Part A:

• Review the article by Anderko et. al (Links to an external site.) (2012) and RAND Workplace Wellness Programs Study (Links to an external site.) and address the following elements (each element should be approximately 1-2 paragraphs in length):
  • Appraise the role of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) on worksite wellness programs.
  • Discuss the prevalence and characteristics of corporate wellness programs.
  • Analyze the impact of corporate wellness programs.
  • Assess the role of incentives on corporate wellness program outcomes.

Part B:

• Assume you are interviewing for a Corporate Wellness Practitioner position at Johnson & Johnson in two weeks. After reviewing the required resources for this week, discuss the following in preparation for the upcoming interview:

  • Evaluates available data regarding the effectiveness of the company’s wellness efforts (1 – 2 paragraphs in length).
  • Create two recommendations for improvement of the current wellness program. State your rationale for making these recommendations (2 paragraphs in length).
