Healthy Strategies To Employee Engagement

It's no secret that organizations are struggling to engage employees, and health and wellness tools have become a top priority to assist in corporate employee engagement strategies. Most companies utilize one or multiple offerings of health Apps in the hope of making a difference. However, simply providing additional tools without context or ownership, communicates to the employee a lack of true employee engagement commitment from the organization itself. Providing links to health and wellness Apps is an ineffective way of demonstrating to your employees that you truly care and in fact, can have the opposite effect. This is where Significo's SDK and health recommendation engine can make a difference.

An SDK, or software development kit, is a set of tools and resources that developers use to create software applications. In the context of health and wellness, an SDK can be used to integrate health and wellness recommendations directly into an existing platform, such as a company's own App, intranet or HR portal.

This means that employees can access personalized health and wellness recommendations without having to leave the platform they already use. A health recommendation engine is a software system that uses data analytics and machine learning algorithms to provide personalized health and wellness recommendations to users. By analyzing data such as an individual's health history, lifestyle habits, and goals, a health recommendation engine can provide personalized and tailored recommendations that are specific to each user's needs.

By using an SDK and health recommendation engine to drive personalized health and wellness, the companies themselves can provide a more seamless and integrated experience for their employees. Instead of having to navigate multiple apps and platforms, employees can access all of their health and wellness information in one place. This leads to increased engagement and participation in wellness programs, as well as improved health outcomes. Better yet, it projects to your employees a true investment in their personal care. By integrating health and wellness recommendations directly into an existing platform, organizations can more easily collect meaningful user data and quickly take actions to assist in employee engagement and participation. This data can then be used to refine and improve wellness programs over time.

There is an old adage, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results." A pretty smart guy coined that phrase. I think we should listen and try a better path.

Organizations that truly care about enhancing employees overall mental and physical health should own that journey? What message do you send if you simple provide a bevy of Apps and try to imply that you care? One of the most effective strategies for creating an elevated employee experience is through purposeful and intentional health and wellness programs. How you do it, or have been doing it, needs to change. That change with better results for the organization and employees alike is in your grasp. You just need to reach out!
