The right well-being program technology can help employees and beneficiaries engage in wellness no matter where they’re located, using fully integrated web portals and interactive apps. Leading well-being technology companies are providing ways for wellness programming to be accessed by all employees and their loved ones, to bring health back home.

As long as we maintain short attention spans, thrive on instant gratification, and enjoy having fun, gamification will continue to boost participation – and enjoyment! - in worksite well-being programs. Done properly, the results will include a healthier and more engaged workforce, reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, and less turnover. With gamification, we can look forward to the new direction wellness programs will take in the years to come to not only evolve how we work, but the satisfaction we achieve while doing it.
