We all know that health care costs continue to trend upward, organizations are straining to meet the needs of their employee's medical and benefit costs as well as hold the line on expenses. Increasingly organizations are looking at more innovative and socially oriented programs to make wellness programs more successful and sticky. Can adding social components to corporate wellness programs make a difference? How can companies get these programs off the ground? What are some of the keys to success? What are the barriers?
