HHW Year-end Evaluation

Go to  Form Start  |  End  ||  Question 1  |  14  |  22  

Dear Wellness Coordinator:

As the year comes to a close, it's time to take stock of the Healthy Heart Worksite (HHW) wellness project. To help me with this I am asking you to complete an evaluation form. It should take no more than 15-20 minutes.

Your responses are very important. When this project began I emphasized that we were all breaking new ground. While wellness programs are not new, programs focusing on environmental changes at relatively small worksites remain largely untested. Your experiences and evaluations are key to building a base of ideas and best practices from which others can benefit.

Your responses to the questionnaire will be used in three ways.

  • First, as a basis for discussing with you, the next steps for your worksite.
  • Second, as a guide for me as I prepare to recruit a second group of 10 worksites.
  • And third, as a cache of experiences that I can offer to those across the state who are working on this program.

Only in the first case will your answers be identified with you or your worksite. Anonymity will be maintained for uses 2 and 3, and neither worksite nor respondent will be identified.

The Tompkins County Health Department is committed to the HHW program. It provides a way to increase our understanding of how each of us responds to health risks as they relate to personal choice. Your contribution to date has been invaluable. Now, your timely and frank completion of this evaluation is the most important next step you can take.

Thank you.

P.S. Anyone who is active in the worksite wellness program is encouraged to submit a completed evaluation.
