With as many as five distinct generations in the workforce today, how do employers structure health and well-being programs to benefit the needs of all stakeholders? How do companies assess the needs of their employees and implement initiatives that improve workforce health while optimizing their business results? This session will review the most recent thinking on improving employee engagement in well-being initiatives and determine how (or if) these approaches differ based on the employee’s workforce generation.

Learn how your wellness program can use these same skillful psychology triggers that marketers use to inspire healthier behaviors in their population.
