Checklist Preparation Guide
The Well Workplace Process allows you to customize your journey from evaluation and education to validation and designation. This proven method starts with the Well Workplace Checklist and guides you through the process of evaluating your organization's wellness culture.
The Well Workplace Checklist is a 150-question interactive worksite wellness assessment that measures your organization's alignment with the 7 Benchmarks.

Benchmark 7: Conduct Evaluation, Communicate, Celebrate, and Iterate
Evaluating your success and communicating that success to leadership and other stakeholders
How does the Checklist measure my data?
To ensure accurate information about the current state of your wellness initiative, it's important to prepare to take the checklist. The executive summary will cover what your strengths and weaknesses are and give actionable recommendations for improvements. Answering thoughtfully and honestly each time you take the Checklist will ensure that you will reap the full benefit of the Checklist reporting features.
