2016 will be the year that employers and providers embrace that employees want a personalized wellbeing experience. We will see a move from "one size fits most" to offering a variety of programs that are tailored to the unique needs, wants and dreams of individual employees.

PREDICTION #1

ALLISON SWELINGarmin2

We expect to see employers offer a variety of choice in products. One size does not fit all when it comes to selecting a device for a corporate wellness program.

PREDICTION #2

ROBIN BOUVIERAon Hewitt3

Organizations will continue to think more broadly about the value of a healthy and high-performing workforce, moving from “wellness 101” to a focus on total wellbeing. Their approach will extend beyond physical health, with particular emphasis on financial wellbeing: the ability to confidently manage one’s financial life today, while preparing for the future and anything unexpected along the way.

PREDICTION #3

KEMBRE ROBERTSSouthwest4

Employers will spend more time understanding how to connect their Employee Assistance and Work/Life balance programs to enhance an Employee’s overall wellness experience. As an Employer, we’ve got to recognize that those “outside” work things do affect productivity everyday!

PREDICTION #6

TOM PARRYIntegrated Benefits Institute7

Employers in 2016 will use new and broader data sets to connect workforce health to a broader range of business-relevant outcomes so that they can respond to the fundamental CFO question, “What value is our business deriving from our investments in the health of our people?”

PREDICTION #7

We will experience a broadening of the value proposition for health promotion and wellness as the limitations of a purely cost-driven approach become more visible. This will include increasing employee engagement and morale, productivity, and overall wellbeing.

PREDICTION #8
