Work-site wellness programming his evolved through four stages of development. This article proposes a core technology of work-site wellness programs comprised of 10 dimensions that organize and systematize the range of activities undertaken by such programs. These 10 dimensions address the following tasks: (1) establishing program policy, (2) assessing the health status of the work force, (3) linking the work site with service providers, (4) linking individual employees with services appropriate to their needs, (5) providing options for behavior change strategies and interventions, (6) engaging employees in these various interventions, (7) organizing work-sitewide activities to support health improvement, (8) reviewing and altering organizational policies to make the work environment more supportive of health, (9) routinely evaluating program process and changes in health risks, and (10) periodically assessing longer-term program results. Two future dimensions are described that require further evidence of impact. Arguments and evidence in support of each dimension are provided, including discussion on how activities within each dimension work together to produce maximum effectiveness, and how various dimensions relate to each other to make an effective overall program.
