Personal Empowerment Plan (PEP)

Personal Empowerment Plan (PEP) is a strategy for work sites to promote healthy eating and moderate physical activity. The Coordinator’s Guide will walk you through the PEP Steps to implementing a wellness program: planning, promoting, implementing, and evaluating. PEP includes a Coordinator’s Guide, a CD of print-ready PDF tools, including the PEP logo for use on participant materials and handouts. Also included is a Stage of Change Test (or assessment) so you can match workbooks to each employees starting point.

Why Use PEP?
According to formative research completed for the original version of PEP (released 1999), the predominant barriers faced by individuals changing their health behaviors were lack of energy and lack of time. PEP addressed these barriers by providing simple ways for individuals to eat healthier foods and increase physical activity as part of their daily lives.

In this most recently revised version, PEP, now known as Personal Empowerment Plan, continues to address barriers to improving eating and increasing physical activity, but also provides the worksite coordinators with: current public health recommendations for these behaviors, basic tools for worksite health promotion planning, and access to on-line tools that allow for customization of materials for the worksite setting.
