Workplace Details
• Hotel environment
• Work details-lifting, walking, and standing for
long periods of time.
• General working conditions are fast paced and
stressful at times.
• Employees are made up of young adults to older
adults with different health needs.
• Health and wellness needs for employees are
nutrition, smoking cessation, obesity,
depression/anxiety, reduce injuries.
The Business Case
• Benefits of workplace wellness efforts
– Improve Employee Health Behaviors
– Reduction of elevated health risks
– Reduction in health care costs
– Improve productivity
– Decrease Absenteeism
• Specific outcome of this program is to reduce health
issues for our employees through education, events,
and results driven exercises.
• The specific outcomes will be great for staff by
reducing stress, feeling healthier, and being more
productive.
The Strategy
• Total buy in from corporate and leadership roles.
• Make it easy-lack of time, interest, awareness,
and access are barriers that are needed to
remove.
• Get to know the needs of the employees.
• Brand and promote that we have employee
wellness.
• Keep it fresh by running events and programs
consistently.
Intervention Activities
• Weekly/daily walks on the Monon trail-Fitness Fridays
• Provide healthy snacks and lunches on Wellness
Wednesdays
• Water bottles for specific rewards for events
• Create a healthy office cookbook-focused on recipes
that come from our chefs that target certain disease
such as diabetes
• Yoga events
• 5K events
• Smoking cessation programs
Cultural Competence
• Get to know the needs of our team through
dietary needs. Staff that have diabetes or
religious beliefs will need to be known.
• Create peer groups or cohorts to make sure all
cultures feel comfortable in gaining health.
• We are a very diverse group of people that the
program needs to focus and be just as diverse.
Costs
• Surveys found from the Employee Benefit Advisor show
that the total cost of a wellness program is between $150
and $1,200 per employee per year. The reason for the
wide price range accounts for the number wellness
program options an employer wants to include in the
program.
• A survey from United Healthcare asked employers what
their ROI was for wellness programs. The lowest found a
$1 return for every dollar spent, while other reported $4
for every dollar put into the program.
• Wellness programs typically cost between $3 and $7.5 per
employee each month (or approximately $36 to $90 per
year). Much of that costs comes from the modern benefits
of a work-sponsored program
Data
• ROI-”Well-designed and well-executed programs have
the potential to realize an ROI of between $1.50 and $3
per dollar spent between a two- and nine-year
timeframe. In addition, major health risk reductions
can be seen in just six months. Another way employers
are seeing cost savings? More than 60% of
employers reported that workplace wellness programs
reduced their organizations’ healthcare costs”
(Wellright, 2019).
• “48% of employees report that investing in
professional development is one of the best things
their company can do to combat stress” (Wellright,
2019).

Conclusion
• This program will focus on the betterment of
our staff. If we focus on the health and needs
of our employees, the return on investment
will be great. With lower health costs,
reducing training costs, and giving back to our
employees, Hotel Carmichael will benefit not
only financially, but also credibility as a
premier place to work.
