March is National Nutrition Month, making it a great time to either start or continue a conversation about healthy living with employees. Employee health and wellness programs continue to be popular to both motivate employees to make healthy choices and to lower the cost of healthcare for employers.

It’s a new year, and that means that a lot of employees are burnt-out and hitting the job market. So how can you ensure that you minimize churn at your organization both this season and this year?

As we all set out upon a still fairly new year, it’s around now that the pledges we made on New Year’s Day to be healthier and lose some weight start to fade. If you’re working on implementing an employee health and wellness program, now is a perfect time to develop a strategy to ensure your program endures broken resolutions.

The thing on everyone's minds at the end of every year is new year's resolutions.

A common challenge is choosing a resolution that's too vague (e.g. what does "healthier" mean exactly?).

Popularity of workplace wellness programs is on the rise. Companies are encouraging healthy behaviors both in and out of the office to protect employees and customers from illness, and also as a way to reduce health care cost over time.
