Corporate Programs

Effective corporate wellness programs have been shown to save companies a significant amount of money by decreasing health care costs as well as increasing productivity, morale and employee retention. You’ve probably even read some, for example: A 2010 Harvard University study found that for every dollar spent on wellness programs, medical costs fall by about $3.27 and absenteeism costs go down by $2.73. Johnson & Johnson reports a $2.71 savings for every $1 spent on employee wellness over the past decade (Harvard Business Review, Dec. 2010) which saved them $250 million during that time period. The list of successes goes on….

However the thing you do NOT read is that for every program that show these great results, there are dozens of programs that DO NOT work. Many programs are ineffective because they are too focused on providing health screenings and access to fitness facilities, but they ignore the most important aspect of a successful corporate wellness program – giving employees the tools to make lasting behavioral changes.

There are 6 essential elements to an effective corporate wellness program that will help employees make positive, lasting changes:

  1. Education – Helping employees understand the RIGHT things to do to improve their health.
  2. Individualization – A successful program needs to be adaptable for each individual.
  3. Efficiency – Teaching employees how to maximize their results with minimal time.
  4. Accountability – Knowing someone cares about your program adherence and your success.
  5. Support – A team and corporate culture that supports you in your goal.
  6. Fun – A program that is engaging and provides a positive association with health & fitness.
