The Top 5 Tech and Social Trends That Are Changing Workplace Health and Wellness Benefits

What is the role of entrepreneurs in improving the health of employees with an explosion in health-related technologies Fitness and consumers, and the changes occurring in the health care system?

In C + student, I'm never too close to trees that the splendor of the forest is lost - or notice of the forest is on fire regardless of the tree in front of me. Sometimes we all need a pat on the shoulder, "Hey time to divide this gig, man."

According to Mobile Marketer, had about 97,000 mobile applications available related to health and fitness in 2013 See the article "applications market mobile health to take off, expected to reach $ 26 billion in 2017" Mobile technology is a new and the growing industry. If you are in this space will likely be portable Conference USA Technologies, in July 2015, San Francisco.

Just a note here: A $ 26,000,000,000 consumer market for mobile health applications told that the work will not be where people engage in healthy activities.

Here are five trends that are changing the workplace.

1 Physical activity and biometric surveillance will be dominated by mobile technologies. According to Goode Intelligence, there will be 5.5 billion users of mobile and portable biometrics in 2019.

2 room public gym become sophisticated and specialized, and plentiful. See "20 trends for the future" of Athletic Business.

Health insurance 3 will soon become the responsibility of the individual. See "Imagining the end health plans provided by the employer."

4 Workplaces will be much more virtual. Do not miss this great infographic on Brandon Gaille.com, "13 important statistics and trends in virtual workplace."

5 instill core values ​​and building a healthy work culture will replace much of the effort and investment plans now in welfare and health benefits for employees. See "Core Values ​​Company: Why and how to define them."

Given the five trends above means work will not be room to improve the health of employees, or where you get your health insurance. Work may also not be a place to go every day. But it will be an association of people who share common values ​​and goals, hopefully inspired by great leadership. I'm an optimist (which are usually just in time).

I think we're almost to the point where people do not seem to electronic communications that are relevant to their daily work. In addition, they use different sources.

How to connect employers with employees in a changing environment?

My advice is to communicate in the physical world. Use print more frequently. Fashioned, printed newsletters, brochures and posters on the walls have little competition. And they can connect to electronic resources that keep newspapers relevant to your audience. Do not miss this fun video (but true) by IKEA in the enduring qualities of the press, "Living the power of a BookBook ."

Try a couple of them and see how they are rated and discussed. They are not only well made, they will not have much competition from other media.

So think about customizing a quarterly or monthly print newsletter. It will be great to announce and report on the expected changes in this article.
