Resources Needed

You must clearly communicate the resources you will need to start and maintain your Take Action! program. Determine what you will need before you meet with management. Do not forget to consider time, people, and space as resources. Among the resources you may need are:

  • Time for the Program Coordinator, Planning Committee, and Team Captains to plan, promote, and coordinate the program
  • Time for participants to attend the program's kickoff event
  • Time for everyone to celebrate the results
  • Space for committee meetings, the kickoff event, and the closing celebration event
  • Money for promotional materials, the kickoff, the closing celebration, and incentive awards

Be creative when planning your Take Action! program to make the best use of resources.
