It\\u2019s nearly impossible to attend a wellness conference without seeing at least one speaker quoting Gallup data. But how does this industry go-to handle their own internal employee wellness programs? Today\\u2019s guest, Ryan Wolf, has been with Gallup\\u2019s wellness program since the beginning, currently serving as Physical Wellbeing Lead and touting more than 16 years with the company. He believes the main reason Gallup\\u2019s employee wellness programs are so successful is because the company\\u2019s core competency is employee engagement.

Ryan oversees \\u201cIn the Zone\\u201d - Gallup\\u2019s internal wellness program that just passed 70% participation, providing associates, spouses, and family members with opportunities to pursue greater wellbeing by participating in health-related challenges and education. He is currently seeking a master\\u2019s in business administration and finds the most job enjoyment from creating new and engaging challenges that are modern and relevant to Gallup\\u2019s more than 1,100 employees.

In today\\u2019s episode, Ryan gives us a closer look at Gallup\\u2019s wellness program and the ways that it\\u2019s evolved over his time with the company. He explains how Gallup shifted from focusing exclusively on physical wellbeing to adding in the other four elements of wellbeing (career, social, financial, and community) into their programs as often as possible. He explains \\u201cIn the Zone\\u201d and how Gallup is using gamification.

Ryan discusses his biggest challenges and a belief that he used to hold that doesn\\u2019t anymore, before sharing a bit about what he has planned for his Redesigning Wellness Academy talk.
