What is the HealthETeams Challenge?
Posted by Joe Antle on April 30, 2015 9:20 PM EDT

The HealtheTeam Challenge program will emphasize the adoption of group-based workplace wellness programs and the consistent use of workplace wellness activities based on wellness programs that demonstrate WELCOA’s (Wellness Council of America) Ten Steps model.
Consistent and impactful promotion of the program in Inside Business and insidebiz.com is a key to success. Emphasis placed within contest rules on active posting of content in public and private portal areas of the official contest mobile app, HealtheTeams Challenge can also promote efforts. And consistent use of the HealtheTeams Challenge tools to help employee participants and wellness program coordinators at the workgroup level document actions and manage the activities and access to information relative to their team’s program.
The program will also provide for semi-annual competitions where active employee teams, posting their actions and results, can vie for recognition and financial rewards by competing with other participating teams and play a pivotal role in the success of their teams. We will develop rules for the competition in collaboration with Wellness expert Mary Mitchell, the Workplace Wellness Director for VBCH and other experts from our partners. The considerable promotional firepower of Inside Business and its use of www.insidebiz.com and email marketing can generate broad awareness, interest and demand for the campaign among local employers and their employees.
