The last thing you and I want is one more thing on your "to do" list. The entire course has been intentionally structured to maximize what employees learn and absorb within the minimal amount of time. Plus the content is delivered in a way that will not overwhelm. BSWA is a step-by-step, learn at your own pace program.

I call BSWA the "no BS" Wellness Approach because the program uses a micro-learning approach where all content is delivered in short, digestible bytes.

The video lessons are short enough to play during work time (if the company permits), lunch or coffee breaks. Watch them (or binge watch them like a Netflix series) at home with your spouse or significant other and embark on the wellness journey together!

Each lesson has a pdf (a worksheet, checklist, planning sheet etc). Employees can spend as much or as little time on these as they like. The worksheets are especially thought provoking and part of the self-coaching experience. 

We make wellness self-coaching quick and easy. BSWA will maximize what employees learn within a minimal amount of time. 

Byte-Size Wellness Academy provides a Kick-Off Starter Kit that includes: a brief video and information about BSWA, step-by-step guidance for program implementation, and all the promotional and marketing materials for HR (or the employee wellness POC) to raise awareness and build excitement for the program. The downloadable resources are housed in our members only BSWA website (company portal) and can be downloaded anytime.

Each company will provide BSWA with a csv file (securely uploaded to a server) that includes employee names and email addresses. 

Upon receipt of the csv file, registrants are entered into the course portal and then sent a welcome email that includes  unique login credentials and information to orient employees to the program.

Each employees will receive a welcome email that includes  unique login credentials and information to orient them to the program.

Employees can bookmark BSWA and access it on their desktops or mobile devices.

BSWA is a self-guided, easy-to-follow, step-by-step micro-learning program. Employees will start with Module 1 and progress through each of the 5 modules and bonus module incrementally. They will receive a certificate upon completing each module. 

Companies can view employee progress from quarterly usage reports that BSWA generates and provides upon request. The reports track percentage progress through the modules, number of logins, start date and last login date.

We recommend two options.

Option 1: 

Encourage employees to take a  video lesson during company time. Each video lesson is between 5-10 minutes. Some video lessons are less than 5 minutes. Short enough to do during company time and companies would determine the number of videos that are permissible to do each day or week.

Our experience with the X bytes video stretch micro-breaks (5-7 minutes per video) indicates that when companies permit voluntary stretch breaks to be done during company time, the entire workforce gets up and stretches, despite the breaks being voluntary.  

Option 2:

Companies can consider incentivizing employees by awarding points for certificates of completion.

There are 6 certificates (one for each of the 5 modules plus a bonus module) that employees receive upon completion of each module. Each certificate is uniquely branded. 

BSWA tags employees who click on the “Mark as Complete” button at the end of each module and this information is captured in usage reports that are sent to companies quarterly, if requested.

BSWA is a 6 module self-coaching program that is incrementally released over several months. Employees will have access to the program for 12 months. 

Between the video lessons and the optional "homework," the entire program should take about 16 hours. If we break the time down by module, that's between 2 - 5 hours per module - and that's over 12 months.

Byte-Size Wellness Academy (BSWA) is self-guided, easy-to-follow and uses a step-by-step process to guide employees along their wellness journeys - one-step or "byte" at a time!

BSWA will cover a lot of ground. But don’t worry, employees will stay organized with step-by-step roadmaps. All the details are in one place and employees can check things off as they go.

There are 6 separate downloadable Roadmaps – one for each of the 5 modules plus the bonus module. Each roadmap is broken down by lesson with a list of action items, resources & pdf’s, and key learnings.

Employees will always know where they are and where they're going on their journeys.

The roadmaps even include the duration of each video so that employees can plan their time accordingly.

No more excuses about not having the time or energy or motivation to take care of oneself. Because employees will see how easy it is to learn, embody and fit wellness and self-care into busy workdays -- one step (or "byte") at a time. 

BSWA is a step-by-step program. Employees will have access to the bonuses as they progress through the modules. Certificates of completion are available at the end of each module and at the end of the program.

There's one exception: the tele-health fitness bonus (pole walking and other out-of-the-box ways to stay fit at home during COVID-19) is available at the start of BSWA.

We specifically built BSWA this way so employees have all the foundational information needed to get the most out of the bonuses. For example, Self-Coach Training follows the Self-Care module. The video micro-breaks library is included in Module 4 (MOVE) and Module 5 (BREATHE). The healthy lifestyle tips and tip sheets are included in Modules 2 through 5.

The bonuses are practical and actionable. Employees learn by watching the video lessons, apply what they learn in the lesson worksheets, and take action with the bonuses. So they learn and then "do" or practice wellness and self-care.

We will take care of new hires and departing employees. Just provide a new csv file that includes the names and email addresses of new and departing employees to BSWA  quarterly. Employees will be subsequently entered and/or removed from the platform. Each new hire will have full access to the program for one year from the date of entry in the BSWA platform.  

For companies on the fixed cost plan ($2,400 for under 100 employees), there is no cost to add additional employees.  

For companies on the 100-500 employees plan, each new hire will cost $24 per employee per year. Companies with 500+ employees have custom pricing. New hires will be priced at the custom price quoted for each company.
