Apr 21, 2026
In this episode of On The Pulse, Kelly Bowman talks with Debra Wein, CEO and Founder of Wellness Workdays, about what separates effective wellbeing programs from those that struggle to gain traction. Drawing on decades of experience helping employers develop outcomes-based strategies, Debra shares why participation alone is not a measure of success and how organizations can take a more intentional approach to improving workforce wellbeing.
Debra breaks down the four key steps she believes every organization should follow: understanding workforce needs, defining a strategy, implementing targeted solutions, and measuring results. She also explores the connection between physical, mental, and financial wellbeing, discusses common mistakes employers make when evaluating wellness vendors, and shares examples of organizations that have successfully turned wellbeing investments into measurable outcomes.
