Wellmont Employees Go Viral with Flu Shot Video

Today’s column, Employee Engagement, Participation, Helps Spread the Flu Shot Message, is about the difficult task hospitals face in convincing employees to get the flu shot each year–a task that’s even more critical this year because of the H1N1 virus. One example of a healthcare organization that’s done a great job engaging employees is the eight-hospital Wellmont Health System, which serves Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.

Employees throughout the organization got on board by participating in this must-see (seriously) video on the importance of getting a flu shot this year–sung to the tune of “Gimme Three Steps.” Thanks to Wellmont’s Amy Stevens for sharing.

Now, what are you doing at your organization to communicate to employees the importance of getting a flu shot this year?
