These programs are designed to improve health behaviors and results, and they can be used alone or as part of a comprehensive worksite wellness program. They include at least 1 of these components:
- Information and education, like lectures or written materials
- Activities intended to change thoughts and social factors, like behavioral counseling or rewards and reinforcement
- Changes that make it easier for all employees to make healthy choices, like making healthy foods more available or providing health club memberships
