Discover how healthy buildings, culture, and people lead to high profits
Organizations and employees now spend an average of $18,000 per year per employee for health costs, a 61% increase in 10 years. Every indicator projects these costs will double before 2030. This is an unsustainable path. These costs are the tip to an even bigger iceberg, the hidden costs of time out of the office, distraction, disengagement, and turnover. The Healthy Workplace Nudge explains the findings of research on 100 large organizations that have tackled the problems of employee health costs and disengagement in five fresh ways:
In addition to proving highly effective, these approaches represent a fraction of the cost sunk into traditional wellness and engagement programs. The book explains how to create a workplace that is good for people, releases them to what they do best and enjoy most, and produces great and profitable work.

PRAISE FOR THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE NUDGE
"The Healthy Workplace Nudge is not your standard wellness-for-business book. In fact, Rex Miller directly challenges most of the ways companies deliver wellness programs to their employees. His team of researchers addresses why we need wellness programs in the first place: a lack of care. More than that, this book provides new pathways and practical approaches. Most importantly, it calls for a new kind of leadership. A leadership of care."
—Bob Chapman, CEO, Barry-Wehmiller; coauthor, Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family
"Workplaces are killing people, costing economies and business fortunes in the process, and no one seems to care – or believes that anything can change. The Healthy Workplace Nudge shows what it would take to enhance employee well-being and provides compelling examples of the change that is possible."
—Jeffrey Pfeffer, author, Dying for a Paycheck; professor, Stanford Graduate School of Business
"Creating environments that allow people to be their best selves every day is not just a nice to have; it's a business imperative. While everyone agrees philosophically that healthy, happy employees are tantamount to innovative and successful business, rapid change in the wellness industry demands a clearer definition of the hows and whys of employee health. This book masterfully cuts through the noise to shed light on to what works and what doesn't. Rex has truly helped carve the way to the future of the workplace."
—Ryan Picarella, president, Wellness Council of America, WELCOA
"Combining the world's largest asset class (Real Estate) with the world's fastest-growing industry (Health and Wellness) represents the most significant economic and societal opportunity of our time. It's not someone else's responsibility or even opportunity. This is about all of us breaking our industry silos of real estate, HR, healthcare and financial performance. Rex Miller's team and their research describe not only the full potential but the threat to business and our economy, if we don't take advantage of this historic tipping point."
—Paul Scialla, founder/CEO, Delos; founder, International WELL Building Institute
"In the twenty-first century, organizations that are not designed to develop all aspects of employee life will be at a disadvantage. Rex and his team are spot-on in their insights about the importance of a workplace that fosters physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual engagement in their employees."
—Greg Kunkel, SVP and cofounder, Next Jump
Work is the number one stress inducer and stress can drive chronic disease. As chronic disease continues to rise, its associated costs both in human and medical terms are a direct threat to the survival of business. The Healthy Workplace Nudge offers a guide to reducing stress and the related health costs by offering the strategies for creating cultures of care.
In this book, the authors challenge the typical ways in which most companies deliver their wellness programs and shows why so many wellness efforts fail to improve the lives of employees. Throughout this must-have resource, the authors report on the research from the Well MindShift project on 100 large organizations that have tackled the problems of employee health costs and disengagement in four innovative ways. These forward-thinking companies know that: happiness leads to health and performance, behavioral economics lead to healthy employee behavior, a healthy culture is essential, and healthy buildings are a must.
The Healthy Workplace Nudge is filled with vivid stories of healthy organizations from various industries across the country. The stories are not from lofty executives high on the hill but ideas from serious, down-to-earth, tenacious, and healthy leaders who are curious, courageous, and caring. Their examples show how to implement the actionable strategies and approaches that can be put in place . . . right now. These leaders also reveal what it takes to retain a happy and productive pool of talent and cut unnecessary spending that will boost your bottom line.
The Healthy Workplace Nudge is the hands-on guide for creating a healthy environment where your employees and your organization can thrive.
