I ntroduction
LifeScope
E4 Health understands that your employees well-being has a direct impact
on overall organizational performance and, therefore, maintaining a healthy
and productive workforce is of the utmost importance. Our diverse variety
of seminars and trainings are thus geared toward enhancing employees and
leaders sense of balance, resilience, contribution, and motivation and, in turn,
their workplace satisfaction and productivity. Our offerings from the LifeScope
program are typically one hour in length, and technology has afforded us a
multitude of formats in which to present these sessions.

On-Site Seminars
For our live, on-site seminars, employees will have an opportunity to engage with colleagues in a
supportive, interactive environment and acquire valuable skills and learning for enhancing both their
personal and professional lives. Our trainer will lead from a PowerPoint presentation while creating
an engaging dialogue around the selected seminar. A conference room with available seating will be
required along with an LCD projector and screen.

Webinars
LifeScope also recognizes that for some organizations, scheduling a live seminar can be challenging for a
multitude of reasons. Because of this, all of our wellness seminars can also be booked as live webinars
via our virtual classroom over the internet. In the webinar format, employees can attend the session
remotely anywhere there is internet access. No actual office space is required. As such, invitations to
participants can be sent to multiple offices. Another advantage of the webinar format is the anonymity
factor; participants can attend and benefit from the information discussed without having to disclose
their identity. For some topics, this can positively impact the number of attendees.

Simulcast
We can also offer these seminars as a simulcast. A trainer will come to your organization and present
on-site, with the PowerPoint simultaneously being presented via our virtual classroom, with webinar
participants dialing into our conference line. For simulcast bookings, a total of 2 hours will be taken
from your annual seminar allotment (1 hour for the live presentation, and 1 hour for the virtual
presentation).

Scheduled Monthly Webinars


We also have monthly webinars scheduled on the LifeScope website (housed midpoint down on
the home page) which coincide with our monthly themes; prior registration is required. Archived
recordings of these sessions are available as well (these are referenced below the scheduled webinars).
Both the scheduled webinars and archived versions are provided at no cost to your organization.

LifeScope
Dial-In Support Groups (see page 33 for more information)
These telephonic peer groups offer interactive learning experiences for groups of individuals who share a
common concern, such as weight loss, smoking cessation, bereavement, parenting concerns, cancer care,
management issues, etc. Rather than a canned didactic experience, these sessions are facilitated by a
knowledgeable professional who guides a discussion that is targeted to the needs of the group in real time
and where participants learn from each other (as well as the facilitator).

Custom Organizational Development Training


E4s custom organizational development trainings provide a platform of informative, thought provoking,
competency-based learning to participants in two-hour or greater segments. Each program is specifically
designed to encourage individual as well as group learning by stimulating shifting perspectives and
personal behaviors. Areas of focus include: Assessing performance and defining critical competencies,
enabling high potential performers to maximize potential, developing next generation leaders, and
expanding cultural knowledge and the ability to create effective relationships. We will also work with
you to customize any of these topics to fit within your specific learning objectives and workplace
culture. Prices vary based on level of customization. Please speak with your Account Manager or E4
Healths Manager of Training for further information.

Scheduling Seminars
Please contact your E4 Health Account Manager or E4 Healths Manager of Training at least 4 weeks
prior to your desired seminar/webinar date. We will help you select the most appropriate topic,
promote the event and provide all materials including follow-up evaluation surveys.

We recommend the following steps to ensure a successful program and are available to help you
coordinate your event each step of the way:
Assess your organizations current challenges and employee-relations issues. This will assist you in
targeting topics relevant to your employee population. Employee survey responses may also be a
helpful indicator of employee needs and interests.
Discuss your ideas with your Account Manager(s), who may be able to identify the most appropriate
topics for your employees.
Allow at least 3 to 4 weeks for promotion of the seminar/webinar. Weekly reminders and
announcements are recommended. You may also want to provide food and refreshments.

Wellness Seminars
Think of our LifeScope wellness seminars/webinars as introductory sessions on
a selected topic that pack a powerful punch! Usually one hour in length and
booked as Lunch-and-Learns, our wellness seminars and webinars encourage
participants to take a more active role in their physical, emotional and behavioral
health. We review key concepts and evidence-based research on the subject
and then structure the time to create an interactive, meaningful, and engaging
experience so that attendees leave with tangible tools and information that
they can incorporate into their lives immediately.

LifeScopes wellness seminars and webinars offer practical training to address a variety of topics
under the following subject areas:
Emotional Well-Being
Family and Caregiving: Parenting
Family and Caregiving: Elder Care
Health and Wellness
Daily Living: Financial
Working Smarter

Sexual Harassment Prevention (Manager Version)*


By law, sexual harassment is prohibited in the workplace. To assist your organization in enforcing
zero tolerance of sexual harassment, this training reviews the legal definition of sexual harassment
and the behaviors that constitute such harassment. The organizations anti-harassment policy will be
presented, along with examples from recent case law and recommendations for proactive prevention.
Two versions of this training are available: one geared to employees and one to management.
The goal of both trainings is to promote a respectful and safe workplace.

Team Building*
The ability to understand and communicate effectively in teams is an important part of our personal
and professional success. Through discussion, interactive exercises and a debriefing session we
will explore how teams can work together most effectively and learn how to apply successful
team concepts and strategies in very practical ways. Interpersonal difficulties such as trust, skill
identification, conflict resolution and communication issues will be discussed.

When Domestic Violence Comes to Work
While it may be called domestic violence, violence between spouses, partners or ex-partners can
easily spill over into any workplace. Besides bringing danger to the workplace, it can also bring
increased absenteeism and decreased productivity. Powerful forces such as shame and fear often
make it difficult for victims to seek help. Co-workers, supervisors and HR are often the first to notice
changes in their co-workers and/or signs of something being wrong.

This overview will address:


Signs and symptoms of possible domestic violence
Actions that managers, supervisors and staff should and shouldnt take
Tools for helping managers help their employees and provide appropriate resources

Support
In an effort to empower lifestyle change in a communal, confidential and convenient
forum, E4 Health has pioneered dial-in support groups on topics such as weight
management, smoking cessation, cancer care, bereavement, parenting, elder care,
management issues and other concerns specific to our clients needs.

Throughout the year, we offer various dial-in groups, free of charge, across the E4 book of business.
Facilitated by a qualified, Masters-level professional, these telephonic meetings run approximately
45-60 minutes in length and can be delivered on a one-time, weekly or bi-weekly basis. All participants
can be assured confidentiality, and participants may choose to maintain their anonymity, if desired.

We can also customize a dial-in group experience for your specific organization. For each telephonic
meeting, one hour will be deducted from your organizations annual allotment of wellness seminars
(so if you run a series of four meetings, four of your seminar hours will be utilized).

Below is a sampling of dial-in groups E4 Health has presented:


Addressing Childrens Reactions to School Violence
