Programs Centered
Around Live Events

3. Before Interactive Wellness Portals
Why Live Events? Because:
• They engage employees in the
workplace
• There is a sense of peer involvement
• They impinge on employees and help to
create a need for change
• They bring wellness professionals to the
employees
• They prescreen employees for health risk
factors
• The onsite wellness professionals offer
immediate solutions

Their Effectiveness
Live Events, By Themselves,
Offer Limited Results
• Low participation rates
• Don’t involve all employees
• They are not motivational
• Don’t have consistent follow-up
• Hard to measure or quantify results
and determine next steps or ROI.
• They Often Lack Follow-up
• You can’t track employee progress
• Etc, Etc, Etc…
