Programs that had professionals frequently interact with participants , regardless if the interactions were done daily , weekly , or monthly , led to a change in body composition .
Additionally , programs that incorporated a motivation theory and provided content relevant to participants ' needs result ed in a change in body composition .
Conclusion Evidence supports that future worksite wellness programs that are design ed using a motivational theory and content that is created relevant to participants ' needs and that has frequent interactions with participants may result in a change in body composition
Background Adult obesity is globally recognized as a public health concern .
As adults spend most of their weekdays at work , worksite wellness programs may include topics of nutrition education and physical activity to improve an employee 's body composition .
However , results are inconsistent with the impact they have on employees ' body composition .

Quality of motivational interviewing matters: the effect on participation in health-promotion activities in a cluster randomized controlled trial.
Objectives This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a " blended " workplace health-promotion intervention , alongside identification of key components beneficial for future implementation strategies . Methods Within a cluster r and omized controlled trial , 491 employees at increased risk of cardiovascular disease were allocated to the limited ( N=217 ; 9 clusters ) or extensive ( N=274 ; 8 clusters ) intervention . The extensive intervention consisted of motivational interviewing ( MI ) within the framework of a web-based health risk assessment ( HRA ) , a blended care approach . The limited intervention received solely the web-based HRA .  Occupational health physicians ( N=21 ) within three organizations delivered the intervention . Implementation components investigated included : HRA ( reach and participation ) , newsletters ( percentage read ) , and MI sessions ( number and quality ) . MI quality was determined by scoring audiotaped MI sessions , using the MI treatment integrity code . After 6 and 12 months , effects on participation in health-promotion activities and its associations with components of implementation were determined by mixed-effects models . Results Over 80 % of employees participated in health-promotion activities , with an additional 8 % in the extensive compared to the limited group . In the extensive intervention , those with more or better quality MI sessions were more likely to participate in health-promotion activities . Increased MI quality was associated with sustained participation . Conclusions This study suggests that participation in health-promotion activities can be increased by adding MI to a web-based approach and improving the quality of the MI delivered . Interventions with MI should include optimized delivery and quality of MI sessions
