Background Strong Rural Communities Initiative (SRCI) Organizational Chart Wisconsin Worksite Wellness Resource Kit Purpose Methods Results Limitations Conclusion

Rural Health Development Council SRCI Steering Committee (a RHDC Sub-Committee) Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative (SRCI Fiscal Agent) Three Local Community Projects Funded by HWP MCW Center for Healthy Communities MCW Academic Partner Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program at MCW Three Local Community Projects Funded by WPFHF Wisconsin Office of Rural Health UWSMPH Academic Partner Wisconsin Partnership Fund For A Healthy Future at UWSMPH Strong Rural Communities Initiative (SRCI) Organizational Chart

Approaches to Enhance “State Support for Business Sector to Expand Wellness Initiatives” 1.Wisconsin Main Street Program 2.Wisconsin Worksite Wellness Resource Kit 3.“Healthy Communities” Movement 4.New or Hybrid Approach

The Wisconsin Worksite Wellness Resource Kit Released in August 2006 by the Wisconsin Nutrition and Physical Activity Program Designed to guide worksites through the steps of developing a wellness program In local nutrition and physical activity coalition-worksite partnerships were funded through the National Governor’s Association to implement worksite wellness programs using the kit

Purpose Can small and smaller employers have success in wellness programming when using the Wisconsin Worksite Wellness Resource Kit?

Methods Questionnaire developed and administered to 10 of the 11 nutrition and physical activity coalitions who participated in the NGA mini-grants 7 coalitions returned completed surveys for a response rate of 70% Survey responses were analyzed using thematic analysis

Methods Measures of Success: –Establishment of a wellness committee –Development of activities that increase employee awareness of healthy behaviors –Development of activities that encourage employees to adopt healthier lifestyles –Implementation of policies that make it easier for employees to choose healthier behaviors

Results Wellness Committees formed Employee Awareness –Annual Health Risk Assessments –Informative wellness activities incorporated into in- service days Activities to promote healthy lifestyles –Healthy foods in breakrooms –“Healthy Makeover” of vending machines –Onsite yoga classes –Walking challenges

Results Policies –More suitable breastfeeding room –Continued wellness committee meetings and programming –Establishing a budget for wellness committees –Healthy food option must be provided at all upper level meetings

What We Learned Barriers to worksite wellness programming –Lack of Funds –Lack of Time –Lack of Organization –Lack of Participation

What We Learned Proposed improvements: –More tools for administering wellness programs –More tools for forming policies –Mechanism for locating specific information

Limitations Number of firms by employment size for Wisconsin, 2005 SOURCE: U.S. Census Bureau available at

Limitations Small sample size Participants identified by the Wisconsin Nutrition and Physical Activity Program Information about businesses reported by coalitions Except in one case, businesses did not use the kit independently

Conclusions Small employers, in the NGA mini-grant program, did have success in wellness programming when using the Wisconsin Worksite Wellness Resource Kit The utility of the kit for smaller employers needs to be further explored
