ABSTRACT
This case study describes a multistage approach applied to evaluation of an employee wellness program at Northwell Health. The paper describes a framework that other large employers may adopt in their wellness program evaluations. Evaluators worked with Northwell to develop, tailor, and apply a structure-process-outcome framework aligned with the organization's specific goals. Analyses of structural, process, and outcome variables will provide Northwell with valuable information about strengths and weaknesses of its wellness program. The measurement and evaluation framework can serve as a model for businesses aspiring to improve their workplace programs. This framework provides businesses with the opportunity to analyze key elements that need to be addressed collectively to gain a complete picture of program implementation processes and subsequent health and business outcomes.
