Speaker: Ryan Byars, COO

Ryan has been working in all facets of employer wellness for more than 16 years. Ryan brings extensive experience in programming designed to increase participation and improve employee health and is responsible for developing and implementing comprehensive and innovative corporate wellness solutions

Description: 

People thrive when they are supported as whole individuals, not just workers.  When approaching employee health and wellness we must prioritize holistic health by balancing physical vitality, mental clarity, and emotional resilience through flexible, inclusive support systems. By fostering an environment of proactive care, we ensure every team member has the right resources in their own personal journey to health improvement. In this presentation we will address how to design an effective program as well as key aspects to make the program both successful and yield a return on the dollars spent.


Learning Objectives:


Participants will be able to identify and apply the four core pillars of employee well-being—Eat Well, Sleep Well, Move Well, and Think Well—to design and deliver effective, incentive-driven wellness programs that support behavior change, improve employee health outcomes, and enhance organizational return on investment.

*Approved for one (1.0) PDCs with SHRM and HRCI.
