Love them or hate them, wellness vendors are common in the employer market. There are a ton of wellness vendors out there and chances are your employer is currently using one or has used one in the past. Often wellness vendors are seen as filling a needed gap but how do you wade through all of your options?

There are so many of them it’s hard to keep track and understand the key value propositions of each company. The standard process for employers selecting a wellness vendor is a very painful process, where there’s a long set of questions the vendor completes and an employer or consultant tries to compare each one and make a recommendation. If you’ve ever done this it’s a truly painful process that today’s guest set out to solve.

In this episode, I talk to Joe Miller. Joe ran a wellness company from 2003 to 2013 and felt that as a vendor that the RFP process didn't tell the whole story of what his company did. Also, he realized the process brokers/consultants were using to keep up with wellness vendors was inefficient. Joe left that company to start the Wellness Institute.

Joe describes his company as the Match.com or eHarmony of vendors, using a matching survey with 20 questions including goals, message, philosophies, and demographics.

In this episode, Joe and I talk about:

  • How the vendors aren't moving as fast as the market wants it to.
  • What an employer should look for when selecting a wellness vendor.
  • The key things to do to create a successful partnership
  • His advice for vendors to distinguish themselves from other vendors
