1. Case Study: Innovative Teacher and Staff Health Promotion Program Recruitment—What Would You Do?Â
Melissa Venezia, a school district health promotion program director, wants to engage school district faculty and staff in a new health promotion program: Know Your Numbers Health Program. It is a collaborative effort among the district’s health insurance providers, teacher union, and school district. The program goal is for teachers and staff to know and record, as part of a web-based program, key personal health indicators such as blood pressure, weight, height, BMI, cholesterol, date of last physical and vision examination and flu vaccination, and allergies. In the fall of 2015 the district enrollment is 105,650 students in 198 school buildings. The number of district employees (administrative, faculty, and staff) is 10,836. Ms. Venezia wants to do more than send e-mail blasts and school building flyers to engage the teachers and staff. If you were Ms. Venezia, what would you do?

2. Case Study: Encouraging Employees’ Physical Activity—What Would You Do? Employees at a small medical supply company in Cleveland with 44 employees went the extra miles last year to earn additional paid time off. And they want to do the same this year. Employees at the firm got one extra hour of paid time off for every 33,000 steps they take during the first 3 months of the year, for up to 3 extra days of paid leave. Many employees did laps around the parking lot at lunch and took extra walks after work at home. Earning time off with pay was a great motivator to get people moving. Fran Williams, the company owner, wants to keep his staff moving. He is looking for creative, fun ideas to encourage his employees to be physically active. If you were Mr. Williams, what would you do?
