Implementation Recommendations
- Phase rollouts by department to create internal champions
- Subsidize wearables for the first 200 employees to seed adoption
- Measure quarterly with visible leaderboards (privacy-compliant)
- Connect wellness to benefits with premium reductions for participation
- Allow opt-out without penalty to maintain trust and reduce resistance
Wellness is not a cost center. It is a strategic investment in human capital.
