Programs

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

Program Enhancements

Ergonomics
An estimated 2.3 million Canadians needlessly suffered from Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) in a single year. These injuries are preventable.

Our focus is to help you intentionally change your employee’s posture and movements through modifying work environments and increasing body awareness. This makes injury prevention effortless; for you and your company.

Choose an ergonomics program suited to the needs of your company.

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.

We can also provide a FREE workplace diagnostic to see what additional employee health and wellness programs would work for your culture.
