What Do You Want to Achieve?
Think about why you are evaluating and what your investigation is going to measure.
When you are trying to figure out whether an initiative has been successful, see when you followed your mission statement and met your goals and goals.
If you do not have a mission statement or goals or goals, decide with senior management and your staff member committee how your corporation will measure success.
For example, you are able to measure success by changes in –
• Physical measures (e.g., strength, flexibility, waist circumference of employees).
• Psychological measures (e.g., worker morale, satisfaction levels, stress levels).
• Productivity measures (e.g., decrease in absenteeism rates, increased staff member productivity).
Thinking About Employees
If you’re considering making improvements to the initiative, think about whether the initiative is still relevant and appropriate for staff. Find out when there are any barriers to participation in the wellness program or to participation in physical activity during the workday.
As workforce are the ones participating in the health promotion program, it is vital that you give them a chance to provide feedback on the physical activity initiative.
Picking an Examination Method
Decide on your examination method. Both measurable results (e.g., absenteeism rates or questionnaire responses) and descriptive results (e.g., one-on-one interviews or focus groups) can be used to evaluate.
The method you choose will depend on the time and funding available and what you want to measure.
Deciding Precisely how to Do the Evaluation
Plan when and where you’ll do your investigation (and who’ll be assessed). for additional information, read the “Types of Examinations” section on this website.
You could want to pilot test your investigation (e.g., with members of the worker committee) before sending it out to workers. The worker committee might also want to evaluate the program’s planning process.
Doing the Investigation
• Compare your results to baseline information (i.e., examination results from before the launch of your program). If you don’t have this information, save your examination results to compare with later results.
You can also look at other information you could have, like staff member satisfaction survey results.
• Analyse and share meaningful and easy-to-understand results with senior level management and employees.
• Evaluation results can be used to improve the current exercise program and/or to create new health promotion programs in future.
