How to choose employee wellness platform

6 criteria · Requirements by company size · 5 red flags

Define the outcome you want before comparing content libraries: participation, mental health access, injury reduction or benefits cost awareness. Many platforms report engagement, and few can show results you can verify.

Treat privacy and legal design as selection criteria. Programs that ask for health information raise questions under federal disability and genetic information law.

  1. Privacy and data separation

    Health data should reach the employer only in aggregate. The EEOC states that information from wellness programs may be disclosed to employers only in aggregate terms.

  2. ADA and GINA program design

    Programs that request health information or include medical exams must be voluntary and provide required notices.

  3. Accessibility of activities

    Challenges based on steps or exercise can exclude people with disabilities.

  4. Program breadth

    Employees have different needs.

  5. Integrations with benefits and identity

    Eligibility and enrollment should flow from existing systems.

  6. Wearable and device data handling

    Device data is sensitive and uneven in quality.

Requirements by company size

  • Small businesses

    • Simple program catalog
    • Low administration effort
    • Privacy defaults that restrict individual data

    Watch out for

    • Minimum employee counts or contract terms
    • Content-heavy products that no one manages

  • Mid-sized companies

    • HRIS and benefits integration
    • Challenge and incentive administration
    • Aggregate reporting by location

    Watch out for

    • Multiple vendors for similar services
    • Incentive design that creates compliance questions

  • Enterprises

    • SSO and global eligibility rules
    • Multi-language content
    • Regional data privacy terms
    • Detailed aggregate analytics

    Watch out for

    • Fragmented programs by country
    • Third-party content and data sharing agreements

Red flags

  • Employer administrators can see individual health responses
  • Participation is effectively required to receive a benefit, with no alternative
  • No documentation of the notice and consent flow
  • Outcome claims with no stated methodology
  • Wearable data cannot be disconnected or deleted by the employee
