Step . Action Plan
Consulting firm Smith’s Engineering is implementing a workplace wellness program following enthusiastic
employee feedback.
The privately owned, medium sized workplace has 92 employees. When several employees ran a 10,000 Steps
Workplace Challenge, it sparked a workplace-wide response. The firm’s employees were keen to increase their activity
levels and weight loss.
With support from senior management, the firm set about developing a workplace wellness program. They began by
establishing a wellness committee and assessing employees’ lifestyle risks. Their aim was to prioritise healthy lifestyle
behaviours to improve. In addition, Smith’s carried out a separate needs assessment on the workplace environment.
Results
Quitting smoking was identified as a priority issue. Another key issue was improving health and fitness for employees
engaged in manual jobs. Employees also reported that high levels of stress at particular times of the year were affecting
work performance and individual health.
After analysing the assessment results, Smith’s is focusing its workplace wellness program on addressing tobacco
smoking, physical activity, healthy eating and social and emotional wellness.
The committee developed a three-year action plan (January 2015 to December 2017).
10,000 Steps Workplace Challenge <www.10000steps.org.au> encourages people to use
step-counting pedometers to monitor daily physical activity levels.
