The Illinois Workplace Wellness Study was published about a year ago. A member of our Redesigning Wellness Facebook Community. I read the study, commented, then moved on with my life. Then the study started grabbing headlines like “wellness doesn’t work” and gaining attention. Even a year later, it’s vital to understand the year one results of this study. This study is a randomized controlled trial, considered to be the gold standard of research. And we don’t have a lot of rigorous evidence available on the effectiveness of workplace wellness, so this study matters. This interview is with David Molitor and Julian Reif, both Assistant Professors at the Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois, are two out of the three researchers of the study who are my guests today (full bios below). In this interview, David and Julian tell us what got them interested in studying workplace wellness they break down the findings very clearly and I ask them about that wellness vendor webinar where a wellness industry expert drew different conclusions than I understood them to be. We talk about the future of the study because it’s still going on, when new results will be available and they’ll tell us what they recommend we as wellness pros take should away from the results.
