How to choose employee wellness platform
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.
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.
ADA and GINA program design
Programs that request health information or include medical exams must be voluntary and provide required notices.
Accessibility of activities
Challenges based on steps or exercise can exclude people with disabilities.
Program breadth
Employees have different needs.
Integrations with benefits and identity
Eligibility and enrollment should flow from existing systems.
Wearable and device data handling
Device data is sensitive and uneven in quality.
