Instructions

The wellness program implementation plan should elaborate on the implementation section of your wellness program proposal. This is also a good opportunity to reflect on your instructor’s feedback and determine how best to incorporate it within your implementation plan. Consider all aspects of the case study associated with your wellness dimension focus and explain how you plan on delivering the wellness program that you conveyed in your proposal (i.e., what will your wellness program look like to employees?).

As part of the implementation plan, you will also need to determine how you will communicate the wellness program to all employees. You are required to identify multiple communication channels, strategies, and styles, which makes sense to the employee group so that you can achieve maximum reach across the company.

In addition to Modules 1 and 2, the module associated with the wellness dimension that you selected will also provide helpful implementation tips and strategies. You can also incorporate research (e.g., eBooks, online articles, scholarly journal articles, etc.) within your implementation plan. If you do, make sure you include in-text citations and a references list in APA citation style.
