   S2E7: 47 seconds of attention? The Product Lens Behind Wellness Program Design

   Your weekly listens from Road2Wellbeing Podcast, Helping HR Leaders Guide Their Workforce to WellnessAttention on a single web page has dropped from 2.5 minutes in 2004 to 47 seconds today.Most benefits teams are judged on participation rates, and when the number is low the instinct is to communicate harder. Alenka Kyslik argues the problem usually sits earlier, in the flow itself. She describes a company that offered unlimited therapy where colleagues asked whether it was any good and said they had not realised they had it, partly because sign up could not be completed on a phone. The same pattern shows up at selection, where a fertility platform lands in a workforce in its fifties and sixties and the low uptake reads as disinterest. On this episode she applies 15 years of product and growth work to the question HR actually faces: where employees enter a program, where they drop off, and what is worth measuring once participation stops being the answer.What we discuss? Why open enrollment front-loads information employees retain roughly 70 percent of, if they are lucky How retention loops and habit loops from consumer products apply to benefits communication Why benefits emails need one call to action and a grade seven reading level What the drop from 2.5 minutes to 47 seconds of attention means for how comms are written How to test the employee path by recording someone attempting the login and watching where they stop Why participation rates are defensible to leadership but incomplete as a measure How leadership attending the program gives employees permission to attend What psychological safety changes in productivity, creativity and engagement Why benefits professionals are siloed and what cross-organisation peer contact solves Referenced in this episode Wellness360: Enterprise wellness platform — wellness360.co SAHA Collective: Matchmaking platform connecting people to holistic providers not covered by insurance, with booking, scheduling and payment in platform, HSA and FSA eligible depending on the program Oliva: Mental health provider referenced as a former employer benefit offering unlimited therapy, cited for its desktop-only setup requirement Okta: Identity and single sign on tool, referenced as a source of steps between the employee and the benefit — okta.com Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek: Book referenced on leaders who build safe environments and the effect on long term business stability Scopely: Mobile games company where the guest worked on Marvel Strike Force and WWE Champions — scopely.com LinkedIn: Referenced in the example about unclickable links shared in a networking call chat HSA and FSA: Pre-tax account types the SAHA platform supports depending on plan setup Chapters: 00:00 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Hk7vJ6AB4&list=PLFaYJqgv3W_zfq2irAAmhtRsfJwNQXnf3&index=1) Why wellness programs lose people01:38 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Hk7vJ6AB4&list=PLFaYJqgv3W_zfq2irAAmhtRsfJwNQXnf3&index=1&t=98s) The ten thousand dollars that built SAHA06:37 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Hk7vJ6AB4&list=PLFaYJqgv3W_zfq2irAAmhtRsfJwNQXnf3&index=1&t=397s) Starting where the person actually is09:55 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Hk7vJ6AB4&list=PLFaYJqgv3W_zfq2irAAmhtRsfJwNQXnf3&index=1&t=595s) Onboarding, friction, and 47 seconds of attention14:38 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Hk7vJ6AB4&list=PLFaYJqgv3W_zfq2irAAmhtRsfJwNQXnf3&index=1&t=878s) What to measure instead of participation19:17 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Hk7vJ6AB4&list=PLFaYJqgv3W_zfq2irAAmhtRsfJwNQXnf3&index=1&t=1157s&pp=0gcJCWMAwfN6Pr3D) Psychological safety and permission from the top

   S2E006: Behind every 2027 wellness headline. The wellness trends reshaping the American Workforce

   Behind every 2027 wellness headline. The wellness trends reshaping benefits, food, and fitness for the American Workforce Your weekly listens from Road2Wellbeing Podcast, Helping HR Leaders Guide Their Workforce to Wellness Roughly one in nine adults is now on a weight-loss medication like a GLP-1, a rate that has about doubled in two years. GLP-1 use is producing real muscle loss because the medication is treated as a standalone fix, which is why employers are restructuring coverage around lifestyle requirements. Nutrition attention is moving from protein to fiber and now iron, with a new 2026 guideline set to reclassify people whose labs previously read as normal. Sleep retreats and smart rings are growing, but the people buying them are not the shift workers losing the most sleep. Employees will arrive with more information about themselves than ever, and the question is who helps them act on it. What we discuss Why GLP-1 use has roughly doubled in two years, and what's driving the muscle loss showing up during treatment How strength training is linked to a 15% lower risk of all-cause mortality, with the largest benefit at around 60 minutes a week Why some employers are pulling back GLP-1 coverage and adding program requirements before granting access What's behind the shift in food marketing from protein toward fiber as the next headline nutrient How the American Society of Hematology's new 2026 guideline changes who gets diagnosed with iron deficiency Why the sleep economy is booming while the people most sleep-deprived remain the least likely to access it- How wearables are moving from reporting data to actively coaching behavior in real time What "orthosomnia" is and how anxiety over a sleep score can end up undermining sleep itself Why corporate wellness programs are balancing human coaching against AI-driven coaching depending on budget and access Referenced in this episode Wellness360: Enterprise wellness platform - wellness360.co American Journal of Preventive Medicine: Published the report linking resistance training to a 15% lower risk of all-cause mortality 9am Health: Platform requiring a 12-week lifestyle program before granting insurance-covered access to GLP-1 medication Johns Hopkins: Flagged "fiber maxing" as one of the defining food trends of 2026 EatingWell: Reported a roughly 9,500% increase in page views on fiber-related articles over the past year Mintel: Forecasting a shift from chasing a single fiber gram target toward "fiber diversity" across whole-food sources American Society of Hematology: Published the 2026 clinical guideline revising the diagnostic cutoff for iron deficiency Chapters00:00 Intro: the wellness shifts heading into 2027 00:49 GLP-1s, muscle loss and the strength training response 03:49 Employer coverage pullback and conditional access 06:58 Protein, fiber and the new iron guideline 12:26 Sleep, wearables and who coaching actually reaches

   S2E005: What 20,000 Benefits Professionals Are Looking For. The Operating System Behind Benefits Vendor Selection

   What 20,000 Benefits Professionals Are Looking For. The Operating System Behind Benefits Vendor Selection Benefits professionals on BenefitPitch run seven to eight thousand vendor searches every month, yet no standard mechanism exists to measure whether a selected vendor actually delivers on what was promised. Dave Kerrigan spent 25 years inside benefits before building BenefitPitch, and the problem he kept watching was downstream of selection. An employer runs a thorough RFP, chooses a vendor, and three years later learns the claims reduction never came. Both sides produce reasons. The vendor points to low employee engagement. The employer points to missed benchmarks. Neither had agreed, at the start, on how performance would be tracked in real time. That absence of a shared measurement framework is what Kerrigan describes as the next unsolved layer in the vendor relationship. His search data adds a separate signal: categories like COBRA, TPA services, and FSA or HSA administration rank consistently in the top ten searched, not because employers are discovering them for the first time, but because the current solutions are leaving enough unmet need that buyers are actively looking for something better. What we discuss Why a father's death and a layoff within the same year forced an entrepreneurial decision How the two-sided marketplace problem was broken by licensing a vendor knowledge management system to brokerage firms first What broker consolidation through acquisition does to institutional knowledge of vendor performance Why brokers running seven to eight thousand searches per month on a single platform reveals structural demand, not curiosity How BenefitPitch approaches vendor questionnaires at the RFI level rather than vertical-specific depth Why Kerrigan resisted building an RFP product and what customer demand eventually forced How a shared, donated question bank changes where broker value actually sits in the procurement process What consistently top searched categories, including behavioral health, EAP, wellness, and legacy admin services, signal about employer dissatisfaction Why real-time, mutually agreed performance measurement between employer and vendor is the gap Kerrigan believes the industry has not yet solved Referenced in this episode Wellness360: Enterprise wellness platform — wellness360.co BenefitPitch: Vendor marketplace and knowledge management system for benefits brokers, consultants, and HR leaders — benefitpitch.com Smart RFP: RFI and RFP sister product to BenefitPitch, featuring a shared public question bank and annual vendor panel reviews Claude: AI assistant cited by Kerrigan as a present-day example of prompt-driven RFP generation — claude.ai Road2Wellbeing Podcast: Wellness360 podcast series in which this conversation appears EAP: Employee assistance programs, listed as a distinct top-searched category from behavioral health on BenefitPitch TPA services: Third-party benefit and claims administration, cited as a consistently top-searched category suggesting buyer dissatisfaction with current solutions FSA, HSA, HRA: Tax-advantaged financial account administration, cited alongside TPA and COBRA as legacy categories with persistent search demand COBRA: Federal continuation health coverage administration, cited as a top-ten searched category despite its decades-long presence in the market Dependent eligibility audits: Verification services for benefit plan eligibility, cited among the top-searched categories that surprised Kerrigan given their maturity

   S2E004: What if finance and wellness were never actually at odds? The CFO Conversation and how to reframe health spend in the language finance responds to

   What if finance and wellness were never actually at odds? The CFO Conversation and how to reframe health spend in the language finance responds toYour weekly listen from Road2Wellbeing Podcast Helping HR Leaders Guide Their Workforce to WellnessOrganizations that commit to culture change see returns in the three-to-six-to-one range — but only after they stop expecting results in year one.An overviewChristopher Baker, Health and Performance Consultant at Hub International, argues that costs from poor workforce health build slowly through turnover, absenteeism, and recruiting friction, which means the return builds just as slowly on the other end. Employers who fund a program expecting an immediate payoff are measuring against the wrong clock, and that mismatch is often what gets a wellness budget cut before it has a chance to work. The fix isn't a bigger investment. It's a business case built on baseline data, tied explicitly to the organization's broader strategy, and paired with realistic expectations about how long behavior change takes at both the individual and corporate level.What we discuss• Why poor workforce health costs organizations more in turnover and recruiting than in direct dollars• What productivity metrics, like absenteeism and presenteeism, actually indicate program effectiveness• How to build a finance-ready business case using claims data, demographics, and business strategy alignment• Why most organizations lack a dedicated wellness or well-being staff role• How treating wellness as a perk instead of a strategy keeps programs siloed and underfunded• What low-budget starting points look like, including carrier-provided newsletters, pulse surveys, and educational seminars• Why employee testimonials outperform top-down messaging in driving program participation• How understanding an employee's personal "why" drives more durable behavior change than being told what to do• What the single highest-leverage first move is for an employer looking to act without new budgetChapters:00:00 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX17XuhNZmM) – Intro01:00 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX17XuhNZmM&t=60s) – The Cost of Ignoring Wellbeing05:45 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX17XuhNZmM&t=345s) – Proving It Works: Metrics & ROI09:00 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX17XuhNZmM&t=540s) – Making the Business Case to Finance15:20 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX17XuhNZmM&t=920s) – Getting Started on Any Budget23:50 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX17XuhNZmM&t=1430s) – The Psychology of Behavior Change28:30 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX17XuhNZmM&t=1710s) – Hard-Won Lessons & Final TakeawayReferenced in this episode• Hub International: Insurance brokerage and consulting firm | hubinternational.com• Wellness360: Enterprise wellness platform offering whole-health programming across all dimensions of employee wellbeing | wellness360.co• Pulse surveys: Recurring employee feedback tool recommended for gauging well-being priorities and program direction

   S2E003: Pilot design determines whether men opt in at all. Why Men Disengage from Wellness and How to Bring Them Back In

   Men reporting zero close friends rose from 3 percent in 1990 to 15 percent in 2021 An overview That fivefold increase points to a support system that never adapted as men aged out of the sports teams, fraternities, and daily proximity that once built close relationships. That erosion sits on top of a physiological shift already working against them. Testosterone levels are at historic lows worldwide, driven by lifestyle and diet changes, which compounds the fatigue and disengagement HR is already trying to address. When a wellness program is delivered by someone with a different background, vocabulary, and set of reference points, it struggles to land regardless of how strong the underlying benefit is. Closing this gap means treating messenger, language, and framing as design decisions with as much weight as the benefit itself. What we discuss Why HR's demographic makeup often mismatches the industries it's designing for What the word wellness signals to men, and why it can work against engagement How a masculine identity built around providing and protecting affects help-seeking behavior Why reports of having zero close friends among men rose sharply between 1990 and 2021 What declining testosterone levels suggest about men's physical and mental health today How consumer brands have used identity-matched design to shift behavior in male audiences Why the messenger delivering a wellness message matters as much as the message itself How scarcity, personalization, and hand-selected invitations affect pilot program buy-in What reframing wellness as leadership training for the body does to participation Referenced in the Episode Wellness360: Enterprise wellness platform : wellness360.co Liquid Death: Bottled water brand cited as an example of identity-matched, masculine-coded branding Top Gun: Film referenced as an example of aspirational, masculine-coded framing applied to program design Navy SEALs: Referenced as an example of aspirational branding that could inform program identity Nike: Referenced as an example of athlete endorsement and relatability in marketing Taco Bell: Referenced as an example of advertising that mirrors its target audience 1990–2021 male friendship study: Study cited showing men reporting zero close friends rose from 3 percent to 15 percent ChatGPT: Mentioned as a tool HR could use to rephrase wellness messaging for different audiences

   S2E002: The WHO has decided. Burnout is an occupational phenomenon, not a personal weakness. The Systems Gap Behind Psychological Safety at Work | Road2Wellbeing Podcast by Wellness360

   72% of employees are currently dealing with moderate to very high stress at work, a six-year high, and more than half reported active burnout in the last year alone. An overview Burnout, as defined by the WHO, is a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, presenting across three clinical dimensions: energy depletion and exhaustion, increased psychological distance from one's work or cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy. For years, organizational responses defaulted to individual-level interventions, asking employees to manage their stress, practice more self-care, or attend a yoga class, while leaving untouched the structural conditions generating the crisis. Work overload, cited by 47% of workers as a primary stressor, is compounded by understaffing, poor leadership communication, lack of recognition, and external pressures bleeding in from personal finance and global events. What makes this particularly costly is the silence it produces: 62% of employees who felt uncomfortable disclosing mental health struggles at work reported being actively burned out, and 46% said they feared losing their job if they raised the issue, meaning the populations most at risk are the least likely to signal it. What we discuss Why the World Health Organization officially classifies burnout as an occupational phenomenon, not a personal weakness, and what that reclassification demands of employers What the three clinical dimensions of burnout are, and how to use them to distinguish burnout from disengagement before misreading the signal costs you the employee How burned-out employees and disengaged employees can look similar behaviorally, and why the response to each needs to be different Why work overload and staffing gaps account for the majority of top burnout stressors, and how leaders often fail to see accumulation in real time What psychological safety actually requires beyond stated policy, and why consistent behavior over time is the only mechanism that builds it Why employees who experience a genuine sense of belonging at work are 23% less likely to burn out, and how belonging is built through small, repeated acts of inclusion rather than programs or mandates How fear of professional consequences keeps 46% of employees from disclosing mental health struggles even when support is theoretically available What the gap between manager training and manager readiness looks like when an employee is clearly not okay What immediate actions HR leaders can take this week, including anonymous pulse checks, calendar audits for overload, and modeling vulnerability in one-on-ones

   S2E001 : Three Clicks From Ozempic. Miles Behind Real Support. The HR Imperative behind GLP1 Boom | Road2Wellbeing Podcast by Wellness360

   This isn't an anti-GLP-1 episode. It's a pro-support one.Zikea McCurdie and Samantha Levin break down the GLP-1 boom and why HR leaders are completely unprepared for it.One in eight American adults has now used a GLP-1. Most got there through a telehealth form with no clinical guardrails and no lifestyle support attached. The drug suppresses appetite. It doesn't build habits. And without employer-side infrastructure, you're looking at muscle loss, nutrient deficiencies, and a yo-yo cycle that shows up in your claims data.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss: Why GLP-1s have reached mainstream scale and what the public conversation is missing The clinical risks nobody is talking about — muscle loss, nutrient deficiencies, no guardrails What these drugs actually do to the body beyond the number on the scale Why lifestyle habits have to be built alongside medication, not after What lasting support actually looks like — movement, nutrition, behavior change Why HR leaders should care and where to start The business case: today's deficiencies become tomorrow's health claims How to actually begin a GLP-1 journey the right way Road2Wellbeing is a podcast for HR leaders providing real conversations, clinical depth, evidence-based insightsSponsored by Wellness360
