Despite the benefits associated with workplace health programs, many organizations are unable to offer them due to financial constraints. To address this barrier, the existing 10,000 Steps program trialed the 10,000 Steps Pedometer Microgrant Scheme. This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of the Microgrant Scheme.
Semi-structured interviews with employee representatives (n = 19) were used to explore perceptions of the Microgrant Scheme. Thematic inductive analysis was conducted.
Three main themes emerged: 1) the need for workplace initiatives to address health promotion issues (The Need); 2) the factors associated with the application and implementation process (The Process); and 3) employee and employer benefits associated with the Microgrant Scheme (The Outcomes).
These findings highlight the potential utility of a Microgrant Scheme to extend the reach and long-term sustainability of workplace health promotion activities.
尽管工作场所健康计划带来了诸多益处,但由于资金限制,许多组织无法提供此类计划。为了解决这一障碍,现有的 10000 步计划试验了 10000 步计步器小额赠款计划。本研究评估了小额赠款计划的可行性和可接受性。
采用半结构化访谈的方式对员工代表(n=19)进行了调查,以探讨他们对小额赠款计划的看法。采用主题归纳分析法进行分析。
出现了三个主要主题:1)需要工作场所倡议来解决健康促进问题(需求);2)与申请和实施过程相关的因素(过程);3)与小额赠款计划相关的员工和雇主收益(结果)。
这些发现强调了小额赠款计划在扩大工作场所健康促进活动的范围和长期可持续性方面的潜在效用。
