Viverae White Paper Reveals the Secrets for Driving Employee Participation in Wellness

Viverae, a leading national provider of customized health management solutions, is pleased to announce the release of its new white paper that explains how organizations should drive participation so they can maximize the benefit of workplace wellness programs. This paper, “Participation: Why Getting People Involved Is Critical for Wellness Success,” is available now for immediate free download.

Eight in ten employees believe that wellness programs can be an effective way to promote better health. However, this belief in the efficacy of wellness doesn’t necessarily translate into action; only three in ten currently participate or have participated in a wellness program in the past three years.

“Viverae has found that participation rates between 75 percent and 90 percent are achievable if your organization takes the right steps with its workplace wellness program,” said Michael Nadeau, president and CEO of Viverae. “If employees don’t participate, it is difficult for a workplace program to truly be successful. To reach these high levels of participation, this paper provides organizations with insight into why employees don’t get involved and offers actionable recommendations to transform their hesitation into action.”

The new paper from Viverae offers clear direction for improving employee participation in, and getting maximum return on investment from, a successful health management program. When you download this paper, you will learn how a program can:
•   Get employees involved: Understanding common participation objections can help your organization overcome them.
•   Drive employee participation: Most of the obstacles that stand in the way of building a successful wellness program can be addressed with proper planning and execution.
•   Align your program with your corporate culture: Find out how to set goals to motivate action, ensure compliance and achieve bottom-line results.

“Driving participation in a wellness program must begin with awareness that employees have a choice whether or not to participate,” said Nadeau. “To achieve results with your program, you must first provide a clear course of action, remove any potential obstacles and make it easy for employees to decide to participate.”

Find out how to maximize participation in a wellness program that helps your organization mitigate increases in health care costs, decrease absenteeism and raise productivity.
