How Can My Business Become Involved in the Michigan Steps Up Campaign?

  1. Go to www.michiganstepsup.org.
  2. Make a Commitment to create a healthier workforce by making at least one changeover the next 12 months that supports employees moving more, eating better, or avoiding using tobacco products.
  3. Use Designing Healthy Environments at Work Assessment Tool to help guide your development of a worksite environment that supports healthy lifestyles.
  4. Review the Worksite Wellness Chronicles that highlight work that is being done in businesses across Michigan related to employee health promotion. Submit your own story if you would like to share what your worksite is doing to encourage employee health. Contact Christi Demitz at 517/335-8771 or demitzc@michigan.gov.
  5. Encourage your employees to complete a free Health Risk Appraisal (HRA) . The HRA is a scientific tool that provides individuals with a report on their health risks. Individuals can take their report with them to their healthcare provider to discuss at their next visit. Employers can also request a group number. This will allow employers to receive worksite-specific aggregate reports. No individual health information will be disclosed to the employer or to Michigan Department of Community Health; any information will be in aggregate form only.
  6. Contact us at 517/335-8771 or demitzc@michigan.gov if you are interested in being linked with other worksites in your area that are interested in creating a healthier workforce.
  7. Promote Michigan Steps Up to employees, clients, and stakeholders by distributing brochures, postcards, and/or posters. Call 1-877-422-4244 to order FREE Michigan Steps Up materials.
