• As a result, many organizations are resorting to using excessive incentives—or even more drastic measures—in a desperate attempt to strongarm participation.
• While these measures gain employee compliance, they fall far short of securing real commitment to healthy lifestyles.

But… there are real solutions to this problem—and we'll reveal them to you at the WELCOA 2013 National Training Summit which will take place in Hilton Head South Carolina—to learn more simply visit this link.
