...Developing an Organizational Employee Wellness Plan Sample Outline This outline is intended to be a starting point to guide state agencies in developing their own agency-specific wellness plan. The provided outline addresses specific points to consider in developing the agency plan, but each agency will need to add additional content to define adequately what and how each activity will be implemented in the agency. While the outline is presented in this format for ease of reading and brevity, a more narrative format is recommended to serve as the actual agency wellness plan. Additionally in some sections, such as Program Objectives and Program Content, the outline provides suggested objectives or program content for agencies to consider. In these sections, agency wellness planners may need to delete or add language to reflect agency-specific objectives and content.

...Position: Human Resources Manager Obesity, a disease stemming from lifestyle issues, is a fast rising concern that doctors, governments and fitness experts are constantly trying to solve but with little success. In fact there’s not much they are able to do to even hasten its growth. Over the past few decades the percentage of obese people has increased to 33% whereas the overweight population constitutes about 20% of the total. The current state of our food habits and fitness levels doesn’t help the numbers at all. On the contrary we are aggravating the situation. Currently, an imminent issue is narrowing in on companies like ours. Employees sit in front of their laptops throughout the day, eat burgers and fries at a fast food restaurant for lunch and dinner, go back home and sleep. An exercise-bereft lifestyle like this surely hurts their health, but does it hurt our company? The answer is yes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the total tab for U.S. spending on obesity-related medical care is estimated at $117 billion, a figure that has doubled over a decade. The cost of medical care for an obese person is approximately $620 more than that of the average person. A study conducted by Duke University showed that overweight workers were more susceptible than normal workers to having claims involving injuries. Companies that employ overweight workers are jeopardized with the possibility of incurring increased insurance costs. Health care...

But there's a health downside to that rich culture. “In New Orleans, you can find ways to not eat well and not drink well,” said Franck LaBiche, the company's human resources director. Letting les bons temps rouler wasn't just bad for the company's workers. It also was rough on its finances. “We were looking at a monthly healthcare premium curve for employees that showed a 40% increase over six years,” said LaBiche, whose company has a selfinsured health plan.

The article he’s reading is about using pillows to increase satisfaction during love-making, and he thinks to himself, “Yes, but ordinary pillows go flat, and move around too much. What if there was a cushion that kept its shape and stayed in place?” Thus, the seed of an idea was planted, and after some research and a lot of testing, the Liberator Sexual Positioning cushions were developed. Men and women rejoiced all around the world, and the gentleman became their hero. Or, so the story goes….. The story is mostly true, and that gentleman was Louis Friedman, founder and CEO of the company now known as Liberator, Inc., a vertically integrated manufacturer that designs, develops, manufactures, markets, distributes and retails products to enhance intimacy.

...CHAPTER I Introduction Cigarette smoking is tremendously widespread and is the most crucial problem that many countries are facing up to now. Despite all laws that restrict smoking and the emphasis of media that smoking kills, it still remains as the most addictive vice that begins early in childhood and adolescence which results to a lifetime habit. Tobacco use is one of the preventable causes of death, yet, will be the leading cause of preventable and premature deaths globally in next few years (Salazar, 2004). As years come, the average age of smokers is declining. The youth is greatly and easily influenced by smoking especially if proper guidance for them to avoid it was not established. Indisputably, smoking creates a big impact on people, and year by year, the population of smokers increase thus tobacco-related illnesses that may lead to death also increase. Even the expression that “Warning: Smoking is bad for your health.” is not enough to encourage people especially the young to pick up the habit. It is seriously evident that the several programs or regulations formed to avoid and quit smoking needs more “press on” to switch down its impression to the people Background of the Study There are 1.25 billion smokers around the globe and consequently, one-third to one-half of it, which is almost 6 million people, will be killed in the year 2010 from the disruptive effects of smoking. According to the nonprofit research and advocacy organizations, smoking rates...
