When implementing workplace wellness programs, organizations have the right intentions; to offer a program that will help their employees live a healthier life and to limit medical costs to the organization.

The problem is that too many organizations are sabotaging their own efforts without even knowing it. And it's no fault of their own.

Most organizations are making critical program design mistakes when starting a wellness program. First, there are too many parties involved in the process of selecting a wellness provider, few of whom are actual wellness experts. Each of these parties has their own idea of which components will be the best for your organization’s wellness initiative.
