In the worksite wellness industry, there is a divide between thought leaders when it comes to the question – does wellness work? Although this is too simple of a question to ask, recent research has fanned the flames of negative media headlines and contributed to further disagreement. Too often, organizations, consultants and wellness pros read the headlines and are even more confused about what actually works in wellness. 

Today’s guest, Nicole Latimer, believes this question is the biggest challenge we’re facing as an industry and she believes Staywell’s best practices work to move the needle on health. As chief executive officer of The StayWell Company, Nicole Latimer embodies the company’s mission to be the premier provider of lifestyle risk management programs for the entire healthcare ecosystem, leveraging the science of behavior change as the foundation for improving health outcomes.

In this interview, Nicole tells us about her background prior to Staywell and why she was drawn to Staywell’s mission. She explains Staywell’s wellness philosophy and gives her thoughts on how the wellness industry is evolving. We delve deeply into the topic of incentives, what we need to do differently with wellbeing and Nicole leaves us with her tangible tip.

This interview is one in which two people with different opinions have a civil conversation. If we’re ever going to evolve the wellness industry, we need more civil conversations about current and future wellness practices.
