Whether it is a lack of hope to change a 25-year cycle of weight gain or despair over an unshakable addiction to nicotene, these overwhelmingly frustrating predicaments undermine corporate wellness programs that simply educate employees about what to do. A really good HR exec understands that behavioral change that will improve the bottom line will only occur if the hopeless in the workforce are motivated and inspired to break through the seemingly unbreakable barriers of behavioral change.
