THE WHAT
An Exceptional Workplace* is
a work environment where people are

+ Healthier and happier
+ Productive and satisfied
+ More engaged
+ Drive better business outcomes
How it works                     Platform Solutions
               Assess
                 And
                Teach
                Using
               Insights



                                            Kickoff:
               Educate:                User Engagement
               User Engagement
Measure
Outcomes
Customer Results

Emotional:
   Users
  • “Thank you for trying to keep us healthy. We appreciate it more than you
    know.”

   Choosers
  • “I think this project is a positive outreach to our tenants personal healthy and
        working environments.”


Functional:
  •   80% reduction in probability of contracting cold and flu

Sounds easy, right?



          Making the shift requires a
              cultural change
                   within
           Sales and Marketing
Sales & Marketing

       From                            To

• Features & benefits         • Behavior and attitude change

• Incremental improvements    • Real business advantage

• Traditional call points     •   New call points

• “Throw it over the fence”   • Alignment between sales and
                                marketing
“The Race to the Top…
…is filled with difficult
technical and emotional
hurdles, and requires
patience and effort and
insight.”
