How can I get more staff to participate in our district's wellness activities?

When staff contribute their ideas about a wellness program, chances are they will be more likely to participate. You can assess what your staff would like to see for wellness activities by using the Employee Interest Survey. Incentives are another important method to increase participation. Weekly or monthly drawings for those individuals or teams who have met their health goal can increase motivation to participate. Staff wellness grant money can be used to purchase incentives for defined wellness programs or activities.
