RECENT NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE REINFORCES THE NEED FOR A NEW APPROACH TO WELLNESS

You may have seen “Employee Wellness Programs Yield Little Benefit, Study Shows” by New York Times writer, Reed Abelson in the April 16, 2019, edition. Abelson describes a traditional wellness program that is destined to yield disappointing results given the program's inability to address the health depleting effects of modern society. Complicated wellness program schemes, advanced technological trackers, and high value financial incentives, are insufficient for building the health and well-being levels needed today, and are generally not attractive to employees.

Everyone needs their own personal practice for optimizing their health and well-being, and business leaders have a great opportunity to make relevant, science-based methods available to their employees. Our goal is to make it possible, easier, and affordable for people and businesses to produce their own high health. See our recent concept paper, A Bias For Action, for more on this topic.
