Purpose
Highly successful organizations create wellness cultures that support
self-responsibility, healthy fun, mutual respect and achieving one’s full
potential. The Lifegain Health Culture Audit examines the root causes of
wellness behavior by identifying cultural strengths in your organization and
barriers to wellness. The anonymous survey also examines health behavior,
lifestyle change efforts, program preferences. The survey is ideal for evaluating and planning wellness
programs. Features
Survey questions are tailored to the vision, program planning needs
and goals of a wellness program. Extensive reports create a picture of both
employee well-being and the health of your corporate culture. The Lifegain
Health Culture Audit even provides basic financial forecast tools designed
to determine the economic impact of your health promotion efforts. Results
can be broken down by location, demographic and employment groups. Results can
be benchmarked against an extensive database of other company experiences.
Repeated use of the survey can measure progress in creating a wellness culture.
Cultural Measures The survey
measures existing and desired cultural norms. This information assists in
assessing and prioritizing norm goals. In addition, the survey examines peer support
at work and at home. Informal and formal cultural touch points such as rewards,
communication, training and confrontation are examined. The Lifegain
Health Culture Audit
also examines work climate factors such as sense of community, shared vision and
positive outlook.
Performance and Programmatic Measures A Health Behavior Profile can be
included to examine health risk behavior such as work-life balance, physical
activity, healthy eating, safety and smoking. Employees report on their current
lifestyle change efforts and their level success in achieving lifestyle change
goals. Additional survey questions can be included to assess program
satisfaction, barriers to participation and employee preferences regarding the
format and content of future wellness programming.
