The Future Of Organizational And Employee Wellbeing Is Here!
By Nicole Fallowfield on Mar 23, 2016 6:30:00 AM
There is no doubt that change and innovation are happening at a faster pace than ever before, in nearly all sectors of the economy. This is certainly true for workplace wellness. In fact, no one is even calling it “wellness” anymore—it’s wellbeing. Wellness is booming—it’s a billion dollar industry. With all of this investment, one might expect impressive results. But in reality, wellness in the workplace is at best, a break-even proposition.

The Future Of Employee Benefits: Moving Beyond The Status Quo
By Gibson on Mar 21, 2016 6:30:00 AM
Moving beyond the status quo can no longer be cliché…it has to become reality. The health care industry needs a disruptive innovator with a model that can be replicated and scalable, which is no small task since the best health care decisions are made locally. With collaboration between providers and those who are closest to the consumption of services (i.e. the employer, the provider, the patient, and the family), what has been thought of as impossible is within reach.

By Gibson on Mar 14, 2016 6:30:00 AM
Happy Pi Day!
Do you remember pi? Perhaps your kids celebrate Pi Day at school? Or maybe growing up your math classroom had the first 100 or so digits displayed around the room?

Diligence, Discipline, And Hard Work Aren't Enough
By Gibson on Mar 11, 2016 6:30:00 AM
Today we’re sharing insight from guest blogger Justin Maust, President and Founder of Leader Legacy. We hope you enjoy Justin’s wisdom and perspective.
I can’t believe I’m writing that as my headline. I’m a huge fan of hard work. Most days I’m up and working between 4:00am – 4:30am. I believe success loves discipline. The tortoise always wins the race against the hare. I’ve fallen in love with the daily grind. Key metrics, solid habits, routines, daily agendas, and focused daily work are my mode of operation. Olympic athletes wouldn’t be Olympic athletes without hard work, diligence, and discipline. So, why isn’t this enough?

Workplace Wellbeing: Got Sleep?
By Nicole Fallowfield on Mar 9, 2016 6:30:00 AM
Houston America, we have a problem - a sleep problem that is.
Technological advances in our society have not only made us more productive, they have pushed employers’ productivity goals to the brink of our own exhaustion. This technology urges us to track everything, become more task-oriented, and fill our schedules with events. So much so that in America, if you ask someone how they’re doing, there’s a good chance they’ll say, “Oh, you know, busy…” followed by a laundry list of reasons why they are. But why is this? In our current society, we tend to wear “busy” as a sort of badge of pride. This can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, yet accomplished. What does this mean for your employees?
