MOVEmployee in Clarksburg

Employees join MOVEmployee! by contacting the Wellness Coordinator.  We advertise the program at all wellness events, new employee orientation, Annual Training Fair, Fitness Room bulletin board, and quarterly emails to all employees.  Employees can join at one of 3 levels:

Level 1

• Receive initial diet education from Nutrition Staff. 
• Receive weekly email topics, most coming from the MOVE! website. 
• Report weekly weight to coordinator.  All weights are self reported.  Participants are encouraged to be consistent with time and reported weight. 

Level 2

• Everything in Level 1 plus attend weekly support group as able.
• Or begin a support group of their own using our literature (e.g. night shift employees). 
• All participants are emailed the topic for discussion prior to the meeting.

Level 3

• Everything in both level 1 and 2 plus participate in as many other wellness events as able.

Employees are not restricted to a particular level and can participate as much or as little as needed.  The program has been active for 6 months to date (March, 2007).  Out of 26 participants the average weight loss is 11# (5.5%).
