HASC announces the launch of a new benchmark survey, Workplace Wellness, starting in 2014. The Workplace Wellness Survey Report will detail emerging trends in employer-sponsored health promotion and wellness programs. The survey will explore workplace wellness programs in terms of strategy, design, objectives, incentives, measurement, evaluation and communication. The goal of this report is to provide insights into how health care organizations in California implement and evaluate strategic wellness initiatives.

In order to prepare for the inaugural launch of the Wellness Survey, HASC is currently trying to determine the level of interest among health care organizations. Data collection for the survey will begin on Jan. 6, 2014, and run for approximately four weeks. HASC anticipates that the survey questionnaire will take 30 minutes or less to complete. Report highlights will be presented at both the 2014 HASC Annual Meeting in May and the HASC Wellness Conference in June. Survey results will then be distributed to participants after the June Wellness Conference. The cost to participate in the survey is $150 per entity. System discounts are also available.

HASC and FutureSense will be offering a Wellness Survey Support program in which we partner with your organization to fill out the survey on your behalf should you choose this option. In addition, we will be sending separate communications detailing how to enroll and participate in the survey closer to the launch date.
