Programs

“Successful and sustainable wellness programs are much more than a few ‘lunch and learn’ sessions”. (Alberta Health and Wellness)

Single Enhancements

Lunch ‘n Learns
Provide educational sessions for your employees on a wide variety of health topics including seasonal eating, financial wellness, parenting, stress, alternative healing therapies, meditation, fitness, flu prevention, sexual health, ergonomics, going green and so much more.

On-Site Physical Activity Classes
Encourage physical activity by bringing the activity to your workplace! Choose from yoga, meditation, boot camps, outdoor pole-walking, or Belly-fit to name a few.

Team Building Activities
Bring your team together to connect, learn and promote an element of wellness all at the same time! There are many possibilities to choose from.

Customized Program

We provide tailored programs based on the unique resources and procedures of your organization.

Boomerang offers the following key elements for a successful program:

Corporate Needs Assessment
We meet with you to determine your company’s demographics, mission, vision, and values.  We then establish measurable program indicators.

Workplace Diagnostic
The diagnostic is based on the 7 dimensions of wellness. We complete the diagnostic with your management/employee representatives to get a snapshot of the wellness in your current environment and to understand the goals of where you want to be in the future. The results form a checklist of what enhancements can be made in order to improve the culture.

Organizational Survey
We conduct a survey of staff behaviors and interests (e-surveys, paper surveys, or personal interviews).  Participatory planning, with a focus on employee needs, is an important aspect of successful initiatives.

Program Design
Based on survey results, we recommend a customized program that aligns with your wellness vision.  Programs incorporate employee empowerment and engagement to ensure success. (Our programs should not be viewed as “one offs”, but rather a series for continued health awareness.  When your company connects these dots over time, and they are supported by the bottom up and top down, a healthy work culture is created.  And from this vantage point your returns are recognized.)

Launch
Announcement emails and posters are provided to communicate upcoming events and create excitement!  Sessions are educational, fun and motivational.  Feedback surveys are given to all participants.

Policy Development
We work with your onsite resources and current practices to develop company wellness policies.

Progress Measurement
After an appropriate time frame, we help you measure the programs’ success with your initial indicators.

Positive Reinforcement and Celebration
It is important to recognize important benchmark successes.  Boomerang can offer assistance in rewarding and/or organizing a team wellness celebratory event!

Note: If your company has its own Human Resources staff, we work with them to provide only the services you require.
