1. Build commitment – get senior management endorsement, get your employees involved!
    
2. Find out what employees need and want – there are a variety of ways to understand what your employees consider to be important. A survey or Needs Assessment can provide worthwhile information.
    
3. Put together a plan based on what your employees want and what you can do. The Health Unit has suggestions and resources to help meet these needs in a variety of ways.
    
4. Put activities in place.  The Health Unit can assist you in providing resources or linking you to groups who have the necessary resources to meet your organizational needs, providing support and consultation.
    
5. Follow up and revise your activities.  Evaluating how well the activities met the needs of your employees is important to the success of your workplace initiative.  What is working and what isn’t?  What can we do to make it work?

Creating and maintaining a healthier workplace is an ongoing process.
