Document Summary

The key resource of any program is the individuals needed to carry out the program. Flex time: for worksite health promotion programs when employees participated on their own anytime during the work day as long as they put in their regular number of hours. Internal personnel: uses individuals from within the planning agency/organization or people within the priority population to supply the needed labor: may be hired specifically or they could be existing employees who are trained to handle specific tasks. Another internal resource that health promotion planners are using successfully in a variety of settings, especially in schools is peer education. Individuals who have specific knowledge skills or understanding of a concept help to educate their peers. Vendors: companies that offer or sell programs, services, consulting to groups wanting health promotion programs. Experts available through speaker"s bureaus are often an untapped inexpensive source of personnel for health promotion programs.
