Workplace Programs

The following are examples of Workplace Programs that have been implemented and shown to be effective with employers.

Types of workplace programs:

  • Webinar/Seminars- on topics that can include nutrition education, basic colorectal cancer facts, and a combination of other health information related to the topic.
  • Biometric Screening Events- an opportunity to add education about CRC screening into basic screening at your workplace.
  • Wellness/Health Fairs- a table dedicated specifically to CRC. A toddler training potty can be used to demonstrate the ease of using a FIT test, along with flyers/brochures/other incentives.
  • FluFIT Campaign- along with a traditional Flu Shot Campaign, based upon eligibility, individuals can receive a FIT test. Find out more about how to set up this type of event here: http://flufit.org/how-to/
  • Inflatable Colon- The inflatable colon is an interactive educational tool that allows individuals to walk through and learn about the different stages of colorectal cancer. The dimensions of the inflatable colon are 12’ Tall, 12’ Wide, and 10’ Long.
