Wellness Assessment Team will do the following: • An experienced event manager will be assigned to your organization. • The event manager will provide you with marketing materials to announce the event. • All sign-up can be sent electronically. • WAT will provide the appropriate screening results to both participants and management.
A. Anytime is the right time to enhance wellness! Health events can be booked during the business week, or emailed during the weekend. However, it's best to avoid scheduling a health event before a major holiday or during another corporate event. Most importantly, try to obtain management permission to allow at least half of your employees to attend or schedule the event for a weekend so that families can participate.
A. This will depend upon the number of employees you expect to attend. Events can be as short as 2 hours, or last an entire weekend, depending upon your needs. The optimal time to schedule a event is between the hours of 10am - 2pm.
A. That depends upon the number and type of vendors you select. Typically, we ask you to provide a room or space large enough to allow the vendors to exhibit and for your employees to move about comfortably. Most vendors require nothing more than a 6x3 table and 2 chairs. Some vendors, though, also ask for electrical outlets. Certain screenings, such as hearing screenings, require the privacy of a small room. Our staff will review all requirements with you in advance, and will make adjustments to the vendor list as necessary.
A. In most instances, employees who are aware of the health event are interested in attending. As part of our event management, we provide you with flyers, sign-up sheets and other ideas to advertise your health event internally.
