Been a busy week here, so im behind the power curve with the
rest of you,Work Place wellness and what is good and bad, do you know
the good and bad of work place wellness.The first article I had to read
was Ajunwa, 2017, work place wellness could be putting your data at
risk, this went over talking about how a third party program or fitbit
wrist watch with the companys health insurance vs the companys goals for
money and productivity could be used for the benefit and negative of
both parties. pretty cut and dry explanation of saying you need to ask
questions that your data isn’t going to be used against you or given
freely to someone. Big Trust issue highlighted there.

to an external site. like on the news this is mainly a negative
article. it list reasons why it is good but list reasons why people
don’t do it. it even gives an example of a company vendor releasing data
out to a third or fourth party and how a man had a bypass surgery and
the boss was using the data to make sure he walked and met his weight
loss goals. now that’s kinda not right, but the boss is protecting the
company and the insurance company, but what about the worker, some say
the worker should have been in shape to begin with. we all have vices
and all start somewhere new.

2.My additional article was an article from the Harvard Business
Review. The intended target audience that is article is going for is
anyone who is interested in providing a wellness program at a company,
as well as students and former students at Harvard University. This is
because the magazine is published by Harvard Business Publishing, who is
owned by Harvard University. Due to this intended audience, the
magazine uses language that is useful and understood by business
professionals and people who work in this field. I believe that his
article is credible due to the information that is given throughout the
article. Throughout the article, the author uses information that was
verified in studies that prove the legitimacy of the information. The
information given isn’t based on opinion, but is based on facts and
studies performed by other credible agencies. For example, “A Kaiser
Family Foundation reportLinks to an external site. shows that 99% of
firms with 200 or more workers offered at least one wellness program in
2013.” Ajunwa, I. (2017). This statistic wasn’t just made up, it was
found through a legitimate foundation, providing accurate data to
explain the topic of the article. The second article was also credible.
The reason for this is that it is a scholarly article that was written
and reviewed by professionals in the field. Another reason is that it
wasn’t just written by a single person, multiple people worked and
collaborated on the information that is being provided, ensuring the
legitimacy of the information.
These sources could be used to address the topic of whether or not a
company should invest the time and finances into providing a wellness
program for their company. This could be a major concern in improving
the company as a whole. The only concern I would have would be using the
article from the Harvard Business review would be that it isn’t a peer
reviewed source. This ar
ticle would be good to use a basis of
information, but not to whole heartedly prove and back up a research
question. I would rather use the scholarly peer reviewed article to make
a definitive answer to the question being asked. Jake
3.Hello All,
The first article read Ajunwa, I. (2017 January 19) on about
workplace wellness programs and their scams as interesting to say the
least. With my line of work being in shape is a must. As for my mom, who
is a federal employee as well, it isn’t stressed that much. The most
fitness they push is clipping a step tracker to your pants to track your
steps, if you hit so many steps in a month you get a prize, etc. I feel
like the audience is those who might want to have a health wellness
fair for their business or those who will be attending at work. I feel
like the audience must be spoken to in a gentle yet aggressive manner to
get the point across.
If I was in my mom’s position with work and I read this article, I
wouldn’t take into consideration being this website seems legit. Has
watermark’s, contact pages, social media links, log in/subscribe
options, etc. these all give me confidence that this website is a
credible source. As for reading Ajunwa, I. (2016) about health data, I
also feel like this is a credible source due to how many authors the
article has, the publishing date, the face that the text is also very
organized. Those are all big things I look for as I read on the internet
a lot.
I feel like both articles can be used to talk about those who have
had their health information used by the health providers or those
hosting wellness fair. Providing a few points to those who might be
considering one. A few concerns I would have is if others have not heard
of the authors or maybe the websites where the information was given
just because that might raise a few red flags on credibility. Both
sources have great information, none the less. But health wellness fairs
are always great because I am into fitness and a healthy life is a
happy life, I just hate how in present day there are so many scammers
and hackers out there. Justin
