9 best practices for well-being program engagement tip sheet
Employee well-being goes far—and long—beyond good benefits. It enables a workforce of healthier employees who are more engaged, present, and productive. Keeping your team happier and more fulfilled—in an environment that helps them balance work and life—can lower population health risks and reduce your health care spend.
More than 97% of U.S. adults have at least one modifiable health risk, including high weight, high stress, and inadequate sleep.1 Address these risks that can lead to missed workdays, decreased productivity, and increased prevalence of chronic conditions—and the roughly 30% of health care costs they can contribute to.2
Gain a comprehensive well-being solution, not just a disjointed list of wellness programs, that supports each employee and your business as a whole. Design, implementation, and vendor integration—we handle it all, even measuring and analyzing response to optimize health outcomes.
Create a culture of highly engaged employees through dedicated well-being staff, Wellness Champions, peer support, and fun challenges—that all motivate them to make healthy changes and sustain feel-good results.
Drive behavior change that reduces lifestyle risks for better health. A highly personalized health coaching program can help achieve these outcomes for participants, wherever they are on their health journey.
Access digital tools from self-directed online learning modules to a virtual reality (VR) application. In today's digital world, extending the physical state into the digital realm can make an innovatively impactful difference.
Effectively reach and connect with participants through multichannel approaches with content developed on the science of behavior change.
Use assessments to set a baseline for participants’ health, and then track it over time to personalize action plans and generate measurable results.
Effective incentive design—implemented and monitored to address your unique employee needs—is a key driver of program engagement.
