Ron Goetzel, PhD
Dr. Ron Goetzel will address the ongoing controversy over whether workplace wellness programs work by sharing new and emerging research on the role culture of health (COH) plays. He will also address the shift from a return-on-investment (ROI) rationale for these programs to one that emphasizes value-on-investment (VOI). Dr. Goetzel will also review his “top 10” list of best and promising practices revealed from research projects supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
