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/
