DescriptionThis new book shows how to measure the success of all types of programs and projects that involve environment initiatives, health related programs for employees and citizens, and various safety programs in all types of settings. Few topics are more important than the health and safety of employees, associates, and citizens. Organizations focus a tremendous amount of money on keeping a zero harm approach to employees, the community, and the environment. At the same time, organizations are implementing many types of wellness and fitness programs to ensure that employees remain healthy, safe, and productive. On top of this, environmental efforts have continued to be critical issues; some by regulation, others by suggestion, and many because they are good investments.
Environmental efforts or green projects, as they are sometimes called, can represent value for organizations. Eighty percent can deliver a positive ROI, and the other 20% are often required by regulation. In either case, it is critical to understand whether or not these projects are working. This new book will show step-by-step how to measure the success of many types of programs in these important areas. Within an organization, the responsibilities for environment, health, and safety are often under the direction of the same executive team in an organization. The concerns are always about how well the programs are working and more importantly, what can be done to ensure that they are more successful. This book presents the ROI Methodology as applied to this important field, showing step-by-step how to capture reaction to these programs, the learning necessary to make them successful, progress in terms of application and implementation, the specific business impact measures driven by these programs, and the financial ROI. Along the way, data are collected for process improvement to ensure that if programs are not working, they can be adjusted for success.
