Secure staff and budget

The creation and maintenance of a culture of health within your organization needs to be someone’s priority. However, unless your organization is quite large, you likely don’t need to hire a full-time staff person for this effort.  There are a number of ways to find an individual with the necessary skills to guide and support your organization.

Establishing facilities and policies, such as those allowing employees to be physically active during the workday, does not need to be expensive, but it does require adequate and sustained funding.  If possible, include the creation of a workplace environment that supports health as a permanent part of the operating budget; that helps to ensure it’s an ongoing priority for your organization.
