What We Started to Learn
Everyone we work with wants a wellness program
Our approach to building a wellness program:Works great for some employersHelps other employers a littleDoesn’t work at all for others
If approach same, why varied effect?

Mixed Feelings About WHP
Potential: healthcare cost containment“Wellness is part of being able to afford a health plan going forward.”
Potential: improved productivity“You want them to feel well; you want them to be productive, and you want them to be at work…”
Delicate balance on intrusiveness“…promoting health and quitting tobacco and losing weight – those are very personal subjects to people and they’re very touchy.”
Will it really improve health or reduce costs?“They’re just really unhealthy and that’s not going to go away with a wellness program.”

Key Barriers to WHP
Money“…there are limits…on what we can afford”
Time“…wellness comes back to HR, and we don’t really have enough people to keep it driving and moving forward…”
Logistics“…with essentially ten locations and four states - plus a remote sales force of about 100 - I mean, how do we get to everyone?”
Lack of data“It’s very difficult to get any metrics (proving WHP works)”
Culture“If (WHP) is foreign to the culture, then people don’t have any…belief in it. It doesn’t have any credibility”

Key WHP Facilitators
Turn-key programs and communications“I need someone to give me the information…canned”
“It needs to be turn-key. Here it is, now lay it out”
Employee-driven“…when you have an employee who is enthusiastic…it’s just a lot easier for other employees to get around it (than a top-down approach)”
Management-level champions“..if the executive staff are championing it, it’s a lot easier…”
