Research alone doesn\u2019t create results. Many wellness vendors reference studies.We combine research with real-world implementation support, guided strategy, behavior-change expertise, and long-term engagement systems to help organizations apply wellness principles successfully across diverse employee populations. Because workforce wellbeing requires more than information alone.<\/p>\n

The goal of all Wellness programs should be to improve employee health behavior cost-effectively. How? Dr. Adams reviewed, then summarized 17 years of evidence to help answer this question. There are basically two approaches: group-based programs like the Coronary Health Improvement Project and the Ornish program, or a one-on-one oriented program such lifestyle health coaching.<\/p>\n
We have evaluated both approaches and have concluded that the group-based approach is more effective and cost-effective. The group-based approach significantly improves health and well-being in both community and worksite settings. These studies show that cardiovascular risk factors, depression and stress were reduced, and physical activity, nutrition, and sleep were all improved. The group approach yielded similar results whether the group was facilitated live or via video. We have also reviewed and evaluated the impact of health culture on program outcomes.<\/p>\n

If chronic disease is the primary cost driver, what drives chronic disease?\u00a0 According to the Nurses Health Study, 70-90% of chronic disease is related to lifestyle. So an effective wellness program should demonstrate the ability to improve health behavior. Our research indicates that wellness programs can increase physical activity; improve nutrition behaviors such as fruit, vegetable, and whole grain intake.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”10px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Legacy Research” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h3″ title_font=”|700||on|||||” title_text_color=”#E09900″ min_height=”41px” custom_margin=”||7px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][dsm_icon_list icon_color=”#E09900″ list_space_between=”3px” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][dsm_icon_list_child text=”Improved Physical Activity and Nutrition” icon_font_size=”20px” url=”https:\/\/www.wellsteps.com\/images\/stories\/manuscripts\/chip%206%20months.pdf” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/dsm_icon_list_child][dsm_icon_list_child text=”Improved Fruit, Vegetable and Whole Grain Intake” icon_font_size=”20px” url=”http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/15951715″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/dsm_icon_list_child][dsm_icon_list_child text=”Persistence of Newly Acquired Behaviors” icon_font_size=”20px” url=”https:\/\/www.wellsteps.com\/images\/stories\/manuscripts\/health_behavior_decay.pdf” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/dsm_icon_list_child][\/dsm_icon_list][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Latest Evidence” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h3″ title_font=”|700||on|||||” title_text_color=”#7CDA24″ min_height=”41px” custom_margin=”||7px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][dsm_icon_list icon_color=”#7CDA24″ list_space_between=”3px” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][dsm_icon_list_child icon_font_size=”20px” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” text=”Relationship Between Employee Engagement and Workplace Wellness Program Effectiveness (2022)” url=”https:\/\/hero-health.org\/blog\/relationship-between-employee-engagement-kind-of-initiatives-and-workplace-wellness-program-effectiveness\/” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/dsm_icon_list_child][\/dsm_icon_list][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”26px||25px|||” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”12px||16px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”How can companies effectively promote behavior change among employees?” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h3″ title_font=”|700||on|||||” title_font_size=”29px” title_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||4px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
How to promote behavior change is a much asked research question. To address this question, Dr. Adams designed and coordinated a comprehensive review of leading behavior change theory \u2013 The Transtheoretical Model (TTM). The review process consumed 10 years and resulted in several papers. Additionally, theory-based research tools have been developed and evaluated, and the impact of theory-based interventions have been assessed.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”10px|||||”
