Program Design

Begin by building on what you have. Review existing policies and programs, assess the information that you have to identify needs and priorities that fit your business. It can be as simple as asking employees what they need to help facilitate program development and employee engagement.

"The assessment is the key. That’s where we get good information about risks for our population that we can help them with. We can tailor programs for."
—Nancy Shy, Director of Administration, EF Johnson Technologies

"The first thing we do for new safety policies and initiatives is to get a group together to establish what is appropriate."
—Chris Mann, Senior Manager, ALMACO

"Give the incentives, the small incentives. They aren’t going to change anybody’s life, but they are something to work for and we can take a great deal of pride in."
—Bob Ziemer, Chief of Police, Lincoln Airport Authority
