Letter to Employees

Following is a letter I have written, along with a short survey (survey example 2) that you can use to get your employees involved in a worksite wellness project. Its purpose is to help you get your employees involved in the process.

The letter offers a straight forward description of our project, and the survey polls employee interest, while providing examples of the sort of ideas you might be looking for.

I hope you find this a useful way of getting the word out about your new program.

To All Employees;

You may have heard talk about how eating less fat and more fruits and vegetables, and being more physically active can help people feel healthier and more productive.

The hard part is making the changes. We have to find time in our day for a walk, or take extra steps for a healthier snack or meal when fast and easy is the first concern.

The Tompkins County Health Department (TCHD) is looking at how people can address these concerns at their worksite. The goal is to help employees with an interest in healthy eating and physical activity find encouragement and support at work.

TCHD is looking to worksites for ideas and we’ve been invited to participate. If you have ideas about how to make our worksite more supportive of a healthy lifestyle, jot them down! We’ll take 3 or 4 ideas and actually try them out here at our worksite. The more suggestions the better, so please join in! Staff members from the Health Department’s Health Promotion Program will be working with us on this.

For a start, look over the [attached] survey. The questions will give you a better sense of the kind of ideas we want. Your answers will help us understand where your interests lie. Please take a minute to complete the survey today and give it to your supervisor. To keep your answers anonymous please do not sign the survey. Write your ideas and suggestions on the back of the page.

Thanks for your interest and input!
