Employee Wellness Memo

This memo is in response to your request for communication advice regarding the employee wellness program. I feel that confidentiality is a matter of concern behind the low participation of the employees and their spouses in the wellness program. I feel that, we need to convince our employees by assuring that their medical test results would be strictly confidential and their privacy will be protected. We should look forward to explain our employees, how the wellness program can be beneficial to them as well as the organization.
As we agreed upon maintaining confidentiality of employee’s medical test information, many of our employees have concerns in terms of disclosing their health problems and physical condition with the organization.
In

order to make this program successful, we need to persuade our employees by implementing following strategies:
• Sending a physical assessment reminder to employees in the month of their birthday and explaining the importance of this program.
• Motivate employees and their spouses by rewarding them for active participation in the wellness program.
• Implement more employee benefits for active participation in the program.
