What Individual Wellness Programs does well.

Individual wellness programs can improve individual well-being — the evidence supports this for some programs. Meditation reduces personal stress. Counselling helps people cope. Exercise improves health. These are good things for individuals.

Where CultureIQ Labs wins.

Organizations do not measure individual well-being. They measure disability claims, absenteeism, turnover, and productivity. These are organizational outcomes driven by organizational factors. Intervening at the individual level to change organizational outcomes is a cross-level fallacy. The meditation app does not fix the manager who micromanages. CultureIQ Labs fixes the conditions.

There was no statistically significant correlation between per-employee wellness spending and disability claim rates in a study of 200 Canadian organizations.
