Moreover, these programs often don\u2019t lead to true behavior change, and, subsequently, offer little to no customization. In contrast, they\u2019re one-size-fits-all, which means they don\u2019t fit most organizations. In reality, it\u2019s best to avoid these types of wellness offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, a truly tailored, customized, and well-thought-out program that matches the culture of your organization will yield many more benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellsteps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/broker-with-wellness-programs-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Broker reviewing the details of a wellness program with client.\" class=\"wp-image-108052\" style=\"width:650px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wellsteps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/broker-with-wellness-programs-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wellsteps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/broker-with-wellness-programs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wellsteps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/broker-with-wellness-programs-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wellsteps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/broker-with-wellness-programs-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wellsteps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/broker-with-wellness-programs-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.wellsteps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/broker-with-wellness-programs-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-should-employers-evaluate-wellness-program-brokers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_should_employers_evaluate_wellness_program_brokers\"><\/span>How should employers evaluate wellness program brokers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cameron Black, Advisor\/Director, Corporate Wellness Consulting at Ollis\/Akers\/Arney, says it\u2019s imperative to evaluate the following when choosing brokers for wellness programs:<br><strong>First, Client and Culture Fit:<\/strong> \u201cThe program has to fit the client and their culture. One size does not fit all, and the lack of personalization can be detrimental to the results that you are looking for. It is incredibly important to fully understand the client before creating the program, and most times a \u2018crawl, walk, run\u2019 approach makes the most sense.\u201d<br><strong>Secondly, References:<\/strong> \u201cI think it is fair to ask for testimonials and proven results from other clients. Everyone\u2019s experience will be different based on their commitment, but you will get a sense of what to expect and find out some of the pitfalls to avoid.\u201d<br><strong>Lastly, Cost and Expected Benefits:<\/strong> \u201cWellness has become a nice thing to offer as a broker service. However, many brokers who offer wellness put no time, effort, or finances into their programs. It is merely something to say that they have. It is important to evaluate the cost of the program relative to its expected benefits. Consider both the initial investment and potential long-term savings from improved employee health and productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-employee-benefits-brokers-offer-the-strongest-wellness-programs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_employee_benefits_brokers_offer_the_strongest_wellness_programs\"><\/span>Which employee benefits brokers offer the strongest wellness programs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve worked with each of the following employee benefits brokers and can attest to the quality of their wellness programs.

We share our vision of how the program will impact them and decide on a move forward plan. We almost always use the \u2018crawl, walk, run\u2019 approach, which allows us to assimilate into the population without overburdening employees immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Program highlights include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plans focus on all facets of wellness, including physical, mental, financial, nutritional, and social<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The firm employs interviews and surveys to identify areas of need, then provides education and programming designed to make a positive impact<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ollis\/Akers\/Arney\u2019s wellness director regularly meets with its internal health benefits team to ensure their program is impacting the health of the group and to gain insight into areas that need to be addressed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear, consistent communication \u2013 both internal and external \u2013 allows the firm to provide a positive experience with proven results<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to wellness programs, Ollis\/Akers\/Arney hosts an annual Wellness Conference that attracts 300 clients and features a nationally recognized wellness presenter.
