Corporate wellness programs are bunk, says Al Lewis, CEO of Quizzify, a consumer health education company.
Lewis is a former Harvard economics instructor who started Quizzify, a website that provides visitors quizzes that guide them toward productive, cost-effective health care decisions (and away from unnecessary and costly ones).
In an article earlier this year for the American Journal of Managed Care, Lewis asserted that no corporation can point to savings achieved from company weight loss programs. In fact, no company has ever been able to even achieve sustained weight loss across a large population for two years, he argues, since most reports of company achievements do not take into account workers who did not participate or dropped out of the wellness program.
