Wellness Program Assessments
The Wellness Program Assessment is where every PIF Samaritan Services engagement starts: Karen Hurley evaluates where your wellness program stands, finds where the risk actually sits, and hands you a plan you can act on with or without her.
A Confidential Diagnostic of Your Wellness Program
The assessment is a paid diagnostic that identifies the specific risk points inside your organization's current wellness posture.
Karen Hurley thoroughly evaluates your current wellness resources and identifies areas of growth. It starts with exposure, not job title: who regularly carries adversarial conflict, repeated trauma or other people's worst circumstances. That's true whether the role is a police officer, a firefighter, a dispatcher, a litigator, an emergency manager or a teacher.
"I'm fine" is the standard answer in a culture built on toughing it out, which is exactly why it can't be the only data point. The assessment is built to surface what a roll call check-in can't, handled with mindful, rule-based anonymity and confidentiality throughout.
The first conversation is a complimentary strategy call. The assessment itself is a paid engagement.
What the Assessment Looks At
- Which roles carry the most exposure, and whether your program reaches them
- Who is actually using what's offered, and who isn't
- Your current wellness resources: EAP, apps, peer support, training
- Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of wellness
- Culture, rank structure and what your people will actually use
- The full cost of turnover, not just the obvious piece of it
Built for the Leaders Who Answer for the Program
The Wellness Program Assessment is for the person who has to defend wellness spending to someone else.
Public Safety Command Staff
Police and fire chiefs, sheriffs, EMS and dispatch leadership, peer support teams and wellness coordinators who need a program sized for their agency, not a template built for a two-thousand-officer force.
Emergency Management and Field Crews
Emergency management agencies and utility and disaster-response organizations that deploy people into the field, where most wellness programs were never designed to reach.
Law Firms and District Attorneys
Managing partners and prosecutors' offices whose attorneys carry sustained adversarial pressure and high-stakes deadlines for years.
School Districts
District HR leaders who need a staff wellness and retention strategy they can bring to the board, not another generic staff wellness day.
A Clear Picture of the Gaps
Where your current program falls short for the people carrying the most risk, and why.
Actionable Recommendations
Every assessment comes with solutions and ongoing accountability, backed by a partner who stays engaged well past the initial handoff.
The Business Case
The data and a cost-of-turnover picture leadership needs, built into the process before anyone has to ask for funding.
A Recommended Path
Implement the plan yourself, or continue into a PIF Samaritan Services strategy or full engagement, or team training through Coaching with a Karen.

Walk In With a Case, Not a Request for Trust
The assessment produces the numbers leadership needs before the funding conversation happens.
A chief standing in front of city council, a managing partner at the partner retreat and an HR leader at a public budget hearing all face the same question: what does this cost, and what do we get for it? The Wellness Program Assessment answers it with your own data. Start with what's documented, such as training cost, time to fill and overtime paid to cover a gap, then add what's harder to see: institutional knowledge, team strain and the risk of the next departure.
Gallup estimates that replacing an individual employee can cost one-half to two times that employee's annual salary. Framed against that number, a wellness program becomes a budget conversation, not an admission that something is wrong.

Costs the Assessment Puts on the Table
- Recruiting, academy, onboarding and training costs
- Overtime and coverage for the people left behind
- Substitute coverage in school districts
- The time before a replacement is fully productive
- Institutional knowledge that walks out the door
- The raised risk that the people who stay leave next
Questions About the Wellness Program Assessment
What does a wellness program assessment include?
Karen Hurley's Wellness Program Assessment evaluates your current wellness resources, identifies which roles carry the most risk, checks whether the program actually reaches them, and delivers an actionable plan. It covers the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of wellness and builds the business case leadership needs for funding.
Who should request a wellness program assessment?
The assessment is for leaders responsible for high-stress teams: police and fire chiefs, command staff, EMS and dispatch leadership, emergency managers, law firm managing partners, district attorneys, school district HR leaders, peer support teams and wellness coordinators.
How do you identify which roles in an organization carry the highest risk?
Start with exposure, not job title: who regularly carries adversarial conflict, repeated trauma or other people's worst circumstances. The PIF Samaritan Services assessment is built to identify that before it shows up as a resignation letter.
Is the assessment free?
Confirm with Karen No. The first conversation with Karen Hurley is a complimentary strategy call; the Wellness Program Assessment itself is a paid diagnostic that delivers a plan you can act on with or without further engagement.
How do I build a wellness program I can defend to city council or a school board?
Start with the assessment. It produces the data and a customized plan sized to your organization, so a chief or HR leader walks into that meeting with a case instead of a request for trust.
How do I bring a wellness proposal to a skeptical partnership without it reading as an admission of a problem?
Lead with the number, not the concern. A business case built on your own turnover data is a budget conversation, not an admission, and the PIF Samaritan Services assessment builds that case directly into the process.
Are our people's answers kept confidential?
Yes. Karen Hurley commits to mindful, rule-based anonymity and confidentiality throughout the assessment and delivery process.
