Workforce Health Engagement is a show exploring strategies to improve your employees’ health and productivity – and to protect your bottom line. Join us as industry experts discuss how to engage employees in population health management, wellness, and healthcare consumerism. Workforce Health Engagement is a special series for CEOs, HR executives, and other business leaders about creating a culture of health and building on the latest trends in areas such as communication, epidemiology, disease management, benefit plan design, worksite clinics, price transparency, and more. Over the long term, a “program of the day” won’t help you boost employee health, productivity, and your bottom line. For sustainable success, you need an integrated approach to workforce health engagement.

WHE09: What Pepsi’s 7-Year Experiment Teaches about Workforce Health Engagement

Earlier this year, the non-profit research group RAND Corporation released yet another study questioning the return on investment (ROI) of workplace wellness. RAND’s new study found that wellness can improve employee health and reduce costs, if the employer strategically engages employees beyond industry-standard lifestyle management tactics.

Is it a waste of money and effort for employers to promote healthy lifestyles? No, RAND acknowledged that some lifestyle management goals and practices are effective. But employers should not blindly spend money on wellness programs pitched by vendors.
In this episode, Jesse discusses six take-aways from the PepsiCo results:

* Set clear goals.
* Don’t forget broader goals.
* Invest wisely based on your goals.
* Take an integrated approach to communicating both disease management and lifetstyle management components.
* Develop integrated communications for all workforce health management components.
* Make execution and engagement top priorities.

* May 2013 RAND Wellness Programs Study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Labor
* Blog post: Lessons from Pepsi on Engaging Employees beyond Workplace Wellness
