This method can be quite effective in the first year.

But in year 2, participation drops off significantly…

Page 16: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

…and in year 3, it’s a fraction of what was in year 1.

Page 17: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

It’s not that the tools aren’t well designed…

Page 18: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

…it’s that people get bored with the same thing.

Page 19: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

When it becomes clear that bored participants become former participants…

Page 20: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

…some vendors will pitch the idea that wellness managers have to pay people to engage.

They’ll set up elaborate point systems that reward participants with gift cards, cash, or premium discounts once they reach predetermined thresholds.

Unfortunately, people don’t change their health behaviors for money.

Page 24: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

Although money is a nice perk, it doesn’t improve your bottom line or an employee’s quality of life.

So, if user-generated challenges and bribery don’t work for more than a year…

What does?

Page 27: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

Three ideas:

Page 28: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

Challenging goals.

Page 29: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

Challenging goals. Why do big, challenging goals inspire?

“Succeeding at something hard is more pleasurable, gives greater satisfaction and happiness, and increases overall sense of well-being better than little accomplishments. And setting specific, challenging goals creates a cycle of success and happiness that can repeat – creating what Locke and Latham call the ‘high performance cycle.’” – Heidi Grant Halvorson, PhD

Fun themes.

Page 34: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

Fun themes. Every wellness challenge we create has an interesting theme and compelling visuals – always with the opportunity to learn something beyond the health issue.

Page 35: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

This is where wellness gets “unboring”: You can see your progress wrapped in a game show theme, travel adventure, or nostalgic trip back in time.

We put more energy into this aspect of our campaigns than anyone… and it shows – we get thousands of compliments from excited participants each year.

Social Connections

Page 41: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

The world doesn’t need another Facebook, but if you’re attempting to change a health behavior, you sure can use the support of friends and family.

Page 45: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

We’ve been creating workplace wellness challenges for more than 15 years based on these 3 ideas.

Page 46: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More
Page 47: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

It’s not complicated. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Page 48: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

To keep people engages year after year until they have truly internalized healthy behaviors, you need to keep your wellness program fresh.

Page 49: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

That means new challenges with new themes that participants can rally around every year.

Page 50: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

It means giving them something to learn and do in a way that’ entertaining and reinforces their belief in their own ability to be successful.

Page 51: You Can Keep Employee Wellness Participants Coming Back for More

That’s what we do.
