Corporate wellness is often perceived as a 'nice to have' initiative. And rightfully so. Without the right program, 'wellness' will continue to loiter at the bottom of the executive and HR priority list. We're here to change that.
3. The Truth?
Health is only one (weak) contributor to core business
objectives (revenue growth/cost control)*
Instead:
Develop a holistic wellbeing program that includes all
aspects of wellbeing (e.g. social & community)
*applies to Australia and New Zealand
5. The Truth?
Metrics such as ‘steps walked’, ‘cholesterol levels’ or
‘helpfulness of program’ do not relate to core business
objectives
Instead:
Run programs that produce useful, comparable data
such as identification of key talent and leaders and
workplace culture metrics
7. The Truth?
Participation in traditional ‘health and wellness’
programs is very low
(expect less than 50% of staff to participate in screening procedures,
less than 10% in interventional programs [RAND 2013})
Instead:
Tie ‘health’ programs to
‘performance, recognition, collaboration and
promotion’ (the things employees really care about).
And make it fun.
9. The Truth?
There is no proven ROI on ‘health programs’ in
Australia or New Zealand
(if you can prove us wrong, we’ll run your wellbeing program for free for a full
year- guaranteed)
Instead:
Keep costs minimal while you find a way to measure
your program’s direct impact on key business goals.
11. The Truth?
Wellbeing is often one of many roles for an HR or OH&S
professional. It can be time consuming and
operationally demanding
Instead:
Ensure your wellness program frees you up to manage
and oversee it, rather than operate it.
