A One Size Fits None

7/10/2019

 
While we understand getting to 100% participation, there is work to be done. Surprisingly, only about 15% of today’s employers provide employees with custom-made techniques; they not only need but they seek.
​
Migrating to robust, meaningful and resourceful wellness programs will ensure you deliver to your overall population. The journey to wellness means providing opportunities and adjusting behaviors that will develop and encourage employees to be healthier and prosperous in their daily living at work and home.

At Meliora wants to assist in creating the ‘one size fits none’ programs enveloping the critical wellness factors: mental wellbeing, financial fitness, and physical health. Each movement, however big or small will work towards each employee achieving their wellness goals; whether they want to change all three factors in their life or focus on one at a time. For most people; what motivates them, will move them!

Growth Options Are Essential
Companies and businesses grow in size, so should their wellness initiatives. You focus diligently on hiring the right employees, expand the business, create better internal procedures to ensure smooth operations. The same goes for designing and adapting the right wellness plan that will move with employees as they grow, age, and experience life changes, such as, marriage, divorce, children, aging parents, mental and chronic health issues. It is critical to select benefits and programs to support growth and change within the workforce and internal mechanics.

Put the User First
When you look at the overall wellness ‘big’ picture, it is important to put employees first. You are their compass and are truly navigating them to the programs that ‘fit’ their ‘size’ and will support them on their wellness quest.

Three things are important: 
(1) understand their personality and character
(2) create or expand to meet their expectations and challenges
(3) personalize and pinpoint necessary options

How We Make a Difference
Employees are not one-size-fits-all, so you should not be compelled to adopt one wellness program to accommodate all the organizations' unique needs. No worries, we have your solution. At Meliora we strive to create a wellness program to ‘fit’ each employee and design programs for individualized, personal development and advancement. Our options and plans genuinely come in all shapes and sizes.

We work to ensure our partners meet the needs of each employee. We factor in cost per employee, out-of-pocket expenses, and affordable pricing to encourage sustainability within all programs and offerings.
We want to move the needle on employee engagement and ensure our service offers ‘one size fits none’ with our unique whole solution approach.

Let’s get started today and let us show you; size does matter!

20 Digital Innovators transforming benefits, HR

Meliora Technology wishes to congratulate Tim O’Neil, executive director, employee benefits and wellness at Meredith – Among 20 Digital Innovators transforming HR Benefits
 
New technologies are no longer a nice-to-have, but a must-have. In fact, the vast majority (92%) of C-suite and HR leaders surveyed by global talent acquisition and management firm Randstad say that they believe technology enhances the attraction, engagement and retention of employees. That’s up from 79% who said the same in 2016.

Behind this industry transformation are our 2019 Digital Innovators, individuals driving these technologies and making these innovations possible. After poring through dozens of nominations from Employee Benefit News and Employee Benefit Adviser readers, editors consulted with industry experts and called on their own field of knowledge to choose this year’s award recipients.
 
From virtual reality and digital voice assistants to a benefits television station and text analysis tools, new technology is transforming the industry by helping employers and employees better engage in healthcare, benefits and the workplace in general.
 
His innovation: Tim O’Neil, executive director, employee benefits and wellness, Meredith is focused on bringing new benefits and technology to the media company’s 6,500 employees across 25 states. This year, he played a key role in redesigning the company’s wellness website, alongside tech company Meliora Technology. O’Neil says it was important that the site was as digital as possible, allowing employees a variety of access points including on their mobile devices. As part of the program, Meredith provides a growing number of benefits including a health assessment, wellness screening and coaching, gym memberships and financial wellness tools. The company also has onsite medical clinics for its New York City and Des Moines office. O’Neil says Meredith is “leveraging an electronic medical records system to build a financial model/business case based on the value of the services performed.”

Why it matters: Because Meredith employees are spread out around the country, using technology to meet them where they are is important, O’Neil says. He’s constantly looking for new ways to engage employees and assesses their feedback. Moving forward, O’Neil says he’s looking at new benefits surrounding student loan refinancing, college savings plans and parental friendly benefits like breast milk shipping or backup childcare. Technology can help him educate more employees on these offerings. “In general, technology has really enhanced our efforts to not only provide great benefits but to educate our employees and their families to leverage those to their advantage,” he says.

Wellness Plan Workout

Who is improving Employee Retention, Engagement and Productivity (REP) in your organization? Does your company have a wellness program? The previously mentioned factors, REP, are the major elements in any organization today. A wellness program can enhance and appeal to employees and increase their sense of company buy-in for their presence in the organization. Think about REP, as the REPutation the organization is building with their workforce.
 
Many times, top management can be clouded by cost and time-management of a program - without seeing the real value in a wellness plan. Programs with consistent management and online tools and resources will grow the company's benefits package and reduce healthcare cost per employee.
 
It is unrealistic to depend on an HR team to manage all aspects of a wellness program and takes a large piece of the employee engagement out of the process. Meliora offers an online system geared to meet the needs of many organizations and their employee population. Employees will interact more with their 'own' online user information and will create programs that will speak to other employees. HR presence is vital for oversight and staff support; total management is not necessary. And, HR will be able to use the online analytics and reports to show progress and successes. Once implemented, it is important to make the wellness program a primary focus; so employees feel the company cares about their wellbeing and the investment.
 
When employees feel valued, they work harder and are more engaged. Offering health and wellness programs that focus on improving their overall wellbeing, as opposed to providing just a healthcare plan, can decrease healthcare spending that is affecting the company’s bottom line. Naturally, daily activities and exercise is good for the body and can have positive effects on everyone’s mental fitness; relieving stress, improving memory, aiding in better sleep and boosting mood. A wellness program will have a ripple effect - making for fit and healthy employees. By maintaining REP, employees will be more adept which will decrease absenteeism, create loyalty and increase their overall job satisfaction. Meliora is ready to 'workout' your company's wellness plan, is your company ready for Meliora?
 
Have a company intranet? Utilize this to boost morale and build a social network to reinforce the organization’s culture; to represent a community the company and the employees create. Ask employees their favorite activities they enjoy outside the office; find the things that will enlist them for company events and gatherings. Ask them to share their stories and wellness successes to encourage other to be more involved.
 
Support and participation from top management are critical; they will attract wellness champions within the organization, who will seek others to be involved and aware. Most employees come to work because they love what they do. Imagine this being the case for all employees. When implementing a program, make engagement easy for all staff to participate. Let Meliora work to shape the company’s REP and expand employee’s plight to wellness and better living.
 
Creating a simple wellness program that’s fun and social [with interaction on all levels of the business] will produce a powerful synergy for the entire work environment. Show employees the company cares with incentives and payouts for participation, including the reduction in benefit cost for achieving different levels. Offer employees a wellness program that is interactive; they can share with other staff and get their immediate family members involved will be priceless to any organization.
 
The Meliora team will explore a REP plan that’s right for your company; we will assist with each step of building the concept to implementation.

Put our imagination, passion, innovation and creation to work for your company today - Call Bill Johnston at 817-546-2953 or via email at wjohnston@melioratech.com
