Active engagement, or experiential learning, not just book learning, in the process of change is very important in a successful skill-building program. One of the most elegant processes I have encountered was articulated by the StayWell program offered to the employees of Control Data Corporation in the early 1980s. It is a repeating process, starting with assessment, then feedback and goal- setting, followed by skill-building opportunities, engagement in support and activity groups, working into leader- ship roles in support and activity groups, and then repeating the process. In a review of 35 multi-component workplace health promotion programs, Heaney and Goetzel found that programs that included a goal-setting component had success rates almost double those that did not.
