It’s always surprising to me to find out how few employee wellness programs have a clear set of management endorsed goals and objectives.  No guilt intended!   Often, I find it’s because senior managers never do the work to arrive at a clear consensus on what they want their wellness program to achieve or the results they expect.

This problem represents one of the most significant challenges facing those who are responsible for worksite wellness efforts.  If there is no clear senior management consensus on what these programs are expected to do, then any kind of activity is seen to be of equal value.  The unfortunate outcome tends to be a heavily “tactical” approach to wellness, lackluster programming, minimal budgets, relatively low management priority, and relatively low employee participation.
