Why programs fail
Not enough moneyNot enough management supportEmployees do not understand the importance
of health and wellnessEmployees are not interestedOften, it’s the managers themselves who
create the unhealthy behaviour by stressing the employees !

Why don’t employees participate ?
WITFM ? HR department is implementing the program for the company , not for me.
Lack of trust ! What is being done with my personal health information ?
Programs are not tailored to my needsI am required to use personal time to
participateBoring !

Engaging employees is key to success
Be realistic. Employees will not change lifestyles simply because you tell them to do so . It’s hard to get people to change their behaviour !
Company DNA needs to change. Design a comprehensive program to apply to
all employees, from CEO to peonProvide incentives

Proving ROI
1. Programs should be customized. One size does not fit all.
2. Phase in the programs according to your budget.
3. Something (done well) is better than nothing. 4. Do not be afraid of measurement. Collect
data ! VOI ( value on investment) vs ROI
( return on investment)It takes at least 18 months from the launch of a
Company Wellness program to see any impact.

Measuring ROI
Participation: The easiest to measure. Satisfaction: Another easily measured variable. Behavior changes: Better lifestyle choices.Biometrics: Blood pressure, BMI, body weight
and cholesterol are great targetsProductivity: Absenteeism measures Medical claims: 25 to 40 percent of all medical
insurance claims are avoidable through prevention, early detection and the reduction of modifiable health risk factors.

It’s all connected.
Wellness is no longer a “nice to have”; it’s a business strategy.
Healthy employees have higher levels of engagement and productivity. Healthy companies outperform their competition.
Low employee engagement and high work-related stress leads to unhealthy employees.
Unhealthy employees lead to higher costs and lower productivity.

Chief Wellness Officer
People must live healthier lifestyles, but they need help. They spend most of their time at work, so HR has a great opportunity to help them. What’s more “human” than helping people get healthy?
Wellness is a valuable growth strategy.

Why do so many employee wellness programs fail ?
Typical employee wellness programs are too focused on health and not enough on happiness. Need to engage employees first, and then make them healthy.
A wellness program that isn’t being used has zero chance of success. The Carrot Is Tastier Than The Stick
Small changes in behavior lead to huge results.

Doctors are part of the problem
The Indian healthcare system has become sick. Doctors are illness experts – and not healthcare experts.
Your employees are the true experts on their health.
Give them the tools – and learn from them !
Make it fun !
