2.  Managers are then introduced to the individual segments of the Seven Habits program

 

•    Keep yourself aerobically fit

•    Keep yourself strong

•    Keep yourself flexible

•    Eat from the top of the Hourglass

•    Manage the stress of your life

•    Manage the stress of your job

•    Meditate

 

They'll come away with an exceptionally good idea of what the program is all about, and their own level of health, fitness and wellbeing.

 

3.  Morale booster

The session concludes with a morale-boosting segment based on the Healthy People - Healthy Workplace concept.

 

It's based on three questions addressed by groups of 5 or 6 participants:

 

1.  What do 'they' need to do to improve morale (whoever 'they' is.)

 

2.  What do we need to do to improve morale?

 

3.  What do I need to do to improve morale?

 

It's a useful exercise with people being honest about that they see needing to be done to boost morale. There are not many people who want to work in a place where morale is low, plus there are not many people who don't have some idea of what needs to be done to improve it.

 

4.  Audit report

During the session participants complete a number of profiles which are then turned into an audit report and fed back to participants and their manager. Here is the link to some audit reports.

5.  Recommendations

The audit report comes with recommendations about what needs to be done to improve employee health, fitness and wellbeing.

 

At the conclusion of the program participants will have a good idea of the nature and scope of the Seven Habits of Fit and Health People program, it's likely impact on their staff and, most importantly what they need to do to maintain the momentum generated by the day.

 

The great tragedy of many corporate wellness programs is that individual managers are not given the key performance indicators to drive improvement. People are gee-ed up, measurements are taken, reports written then everyone falls back into a coma until next year when they do something else.

 

It follows the predictable pattern of the Six Phases of  a Project:

1.  Enthusiasm

2.  Disillusionment

3.  Panic

4.  Search for the guilty

5.  Punishment of the innocent

6.  Praise and honours for the non-participants

 

This session for managers aims to break that cycle and have them embrace the concept of occupational health, fitness and wellbeing for the long term benefit of their organisation.
