Before launching your Workplace Physical Activity Program, summarize the information you’ve accumulated and plan your next steps.

At this point, you have

• gained support from management for the Workplace Physical Activity Program

• formed an staff member committee

• analyzed what’s possible in your workplace

• found out what staff members want and need in a Workplace Physical Activity Program.

Based on this information, you are now ready to develop your action plan to elevate exercise at your workplace.

With the employee committee, take the following steps.

• Combine the results of the staff member survey with the workplace environmental assessment, and report to management and employees.

• Prioritize the possibilities at each of the “levels” (individual, social, organizational, community, policy) in the workplace listed in “Keys to Success”. for  instance, suppose a big group of staff members show an interest in biking to work.

Since these people  may want to shower and change after their commute each day, you may give showers and changing facilities priority in your workplace. Bike racks could also be important for making employees’ bicycles secure during the workday.

• Consult the list of practical suggestions found this website.

• Create a mission statement (one which aligns with your corporation’s overall mission statement) to define your purpose and help guide your process. Setting goals and goals will help you achieveyour mission statement.

• Put together a plan or blueprint addressing what you have learned. Make program and activity recommendations with timelines, identify resources and assign responsibilities. Revisit the list of tasks outlined in “Step 2 –  Forming an Worker Committee.” Seek management approval to move ahead.

• Once your initiative is in place, it’s important to promote it to staff members. Organizing a launch is a good way to do this. A formal launch also demonstrates management commitment. If staff members don’t know about the initiative, they cannot take advantage of it!

• Decide what you need to track to show that you’ve reached your objectives. Measure these factors before you start. This way, when you evaluate later, you’ll know when there has been a change.
