Jessica Grossmeier, PhD, MPH, a nationally-recognized wellness expert, is slated to speak at the upcoming Health Care Provider Wellness Conference on Thursday, July 13 at the Wyndham Anaheim Garden Grove in Orange County. She will summarize “the robust evidence base” that supports wellness as a value proposition for organizations. According to multiple studies, wellness programs can deliver measurable return on investment by their second year, with increasing savings in subsequent years.

Findings related to the associated benefits of wellness programs are summarized in 2015’s Program Measurement and Evaluation Guide: Core Metrics for Employee Health Management. Grossmeier coauthors the introduction — and is sole author of the “Productivity and Performance” chapter. The 88-page guide is the result of a collaboration between the Health Enhancement Research Organization, or HERO, and Population Health Alliance — and is available by clicking here.

While wellness pays off, measuring gains remains both difficult and imprecise, Grossmeier cautions.

“The wellness industry and the modern workplace are constantly evolving,” she summed up in 2015. “And so, too, will the Program Measurement and Evaluation Guide.”

Grossmeier’s talk takes place at 8:15 a.m. Click here for more information and to register.
