Workplace Exercise Programs - Kinds of Investigation.
Posted by Health Wellness, under Health and Wellness, Wellness ProgramsThe kind of evaluation you choose depends on when you do it and the kind of information you collect.
This section describes when to use three types - formative, process and summative evaluations.
During the Creating Stage
Use formative evaluations in the planning stages to ensure that your health promotion program is based on solid information. These evaluations also help you to create effective and appropriate materials and procedures.
Examples of formative investigations include -
o records of executive management commitments to the wellness program
o worker interest surveys
o workplace environmental assessments
o pre-testing of health promotion program materials
During Your Program
A process investigation is used when the program is underway. These examinations help you -
o Track what’s going well and what is not (and how to revise your health promotion program)
o determine if you’re reaching the employees you want to reach
o describe the initiative to others
o monitor who’s participating in the initiative
During or After Your Initiative
Summative investigations happen when the initiative is already in place or completed. Use this kind of examination to measure what staff members like about the initiative and what may be improved.
All three types of examinations are useful. The analysis you pick depends on the time and financial resources you have available.
