At OnSite Wellness, we believe that even the best wellness program isn’t set-it-and-forget-it. Just like your personal goals — whether it’s getting more sleep, saving money, or training for a 5K — Ongoing Evaluation is what keeps progress moving forward. That’s why it’s one of our 10 best practices.
Ongoing Evaluation means checking in regularly on what’s working, what’s not, and where adjustments can be made. It ensures your wellness program remains aligned with your company’s mission and responsive to the evolving needs of your workforce.
Why evaluation matters
Your corporate wellness program is like any other strategy — it should be built around a mission and vision. But those goals don’t mean much without a system in place to measure progress. Regular check-ins, whether monthly, quarterly, or annually, help determine:
• Are you moving toward your wellness goals?
• Are employees engaging with what’s offered?
• Do the programs need to pivot based on feedback or new priorities?
Evaluations help you spot trends, identify gaps, and ensure the wellness program is providing real value.
What evaluation can look like
• Surveys and feedback forms: Are employees enjoying the programming? Do they feel supported in their wellness journey?
• Participation rates: Are people signing up and showing up? If not, why?
• Outcomes and trends: Are there measurable improvements in health metrics, morale, or productivity?
• Communication insights: Are employees hearing about the program clearly and often?
A real-world example: Fishbeck
One company that’s doing an excellent job with this best practice is Fishbeck. Their approach to Ongoing Evaluation is both thoughtful and actionable:
• Employee satisfaction surveys: Fishbeck regularly checks in with employees through surveys and feedback forms. They understand that high satisfaction often leads to higher engagement and better health outcomes.
• Data-driven decisions: Feedback isn’t just collected — it’s used. Based on what they learn, Fishbeck makes smart program adjustments. That might mean tweaking event times, adding new activities, or improving communication strategies to reach more people.
• Participation tracking: Fishbeck pays close attention to participation levels across their wellness offerings. If numbers are low, they know it’s time to revisit how the program is promoted or whether the content needs a refresh.
Keep moving forward
Just like any wellness journey, your program needs room to grow, evolve, and improve. What worked last year might not resonate this year. And that’s okay. With regular evaluation, you can stay flexible and responsive — while staying focused on your long-term goals.
