“Case Study: SPC Healthy Employee Initiative
The President of St. Petersburg College stated that, “Keeping our employees healthy is not only the right thing to do, it is good for the company’s bottom line as well.” In response, Human Resources developed a “Let’s Get Healthy” initiative for its 1,000 employees. Programs were established on each campus for free Weight Watchers, yoga, and smoking cessation classes. A walking club was started on each campus and the lunch rooms added healthier food choices. Nicotine patches and gym memberships were subsidized by the College to lower the cost by 50%. Employees participating in these prevention activities were also given a discount on their health insurance premiums.
Although interest was initially high, it began to fade within a year. Attendance in the on-campus yoga, smoking, weight watchers and walking groups diminished. Classes were canceled due to a lack of participation, and few employees were using their gym memberships regularly. Convinced this program is still a good concept and worthwhile, Human Resources hired a health educator to evaluate the program and make recommendations for improvement.”
Using one of the models or theories discussed in this module (stages of change, health belief, self-efficacy, protection motivation, theory of reasoned action, etc.), provide a possible explanation for why staff were not participating in the campaign.
What motivational strategies did the human resources staff use in the “Let’s Get Healthy” campaign? Why do you think these strategies did not work?
Describe a different strategy that could better promote healthy behaviors among staff. For example, if a health education campaign was offered in conjunction with the “Let’s Get Healthy” campaign, would the results have been different? Explain.
Module 2, Discussion 2
Working together in groups, whether for a class project or in the workforce, is a key skill to master. Students often dislike group work, and employers are reporting significant gaps in new college graduates’ ability to work with others in teams. See article: Well-Prepared in Their Own Eyes
I would like you to use past experiences, what you learned in about motivation in this module, and one peer-reviewed article about group work to design a group project about a health issue that would help offer an effective learning experience. Clearly explain how would you get group members with different levels of motivation to contribute equally to the project? Consider the following issues: leadership, work distribution, frequency of participation, deadlines, project charter, communication standards and netiquette, file sharing methods

Research this teaching method by using a professional resource outside of your textbook and in at least 350 words:
Briefly explain this teaching method. Then describe a specific lesson that applies to any aspect of allied health education using this teaching method. Include enough of a description that a substitute teacher could implement the lesson based on your instructions/description.
