Evaluation Resources to Drive Your Worksite Wellness Programs Toward Greater Success

As today’s worksite wellness practitioners face unprecedented pressure to demonstrate program accountability and impact, evaluation efforts are ramping up in worksites of all sizes. Whether you are simply thinking about how to evaluate, planning an evaluation, or expanding the scope of an evaluation, this webinar highlights two new resources that can enhance your efforts. The first resource is the soon-to-be-released Effective Practice Guidelines report, “Worksite Wellness Evaluation: Strategies for Employers,” published by the SHRM Foundation. The report describes and illustrates how worksite wellness practitioners can use various data analysis and evaluation techniques such as claims data analysis, break-even analysis, benefit-cost analysis, and forecasting in their particular setting. The second resource we’ll discuss is a free Massive Open Online Course or MOOC entitled “Dynamic Strategies in Worksite Wellness Evaluation & ROI,” sponsored by the University of Wisconsin. The MOOC consists of four sessions and will be available entirely online beginning October 20th. This webinar will describe the concept of a MOOC, its flexible format, an outline of the four sessions, and how to register for this no-cost course that has already attracted well over 500 participants.
