Most clients want us to handle their corporate wellness initiative from start to finish. A few, however, prefer to put together their own program. Still others like to “warm up” their employees to the idea by starting small—by giving a copy of our book to each person, for instance, or covering the breakroom wall with motivational posters.
We created our À La Carte Shop for do-it-yourselfers of every stripe. We invite you to explore it and, as always, call us if you have any questions.
PR Launch Kit
The launch kit includes sample letters from your company’s leaders designed to kick off the program, internal and external press releases, verbiage for your intranet, and a selection of paycheck stuffers. Its purpose is to get employees excited about your wellness program and create “buy in.” The launch is scheduled for two months prior to the official start of the wellness program.

104 Weekly Challenges
These challenges, which come 13 to a sheet, can be hung on a filing cabinet at work or on a refrigerator at home. Participants check off each challenge as it is accomplished. The challenges are simple, subtle changes to one’s daily routine that, over time, result in a healthier body weight. The challenges are a great way to get both your fit and overweight employees involved in the program. For example, one challenge might be to take the stairs instead of the elevator; another might be to substitute a bottle of water for a soft drink.
