The Affordable Care Act of 2010 provided employers and employees opportunities to reduce health insurance costs if employees participated in voluntary workplace wellness programs. However, voluntary participation came with a heavy and sometimes punitive reality for those who did not want to participate. So in 2022, AARP brought a lawsuit against Yale University alleging that Yale’s workplace wellness program actually amounted to a discriminatory involuntary requirement. In this episode, I look at ways to think about your workplace wellness program in light of the Yale settlement. I also walk through various legal provisions that may be useful in helping you structure an effective workplace wellness program that avoids alienating certain employees. As always, this is a conversation. I am not providing legal advice in this setting. For more information, please go to christelbesttraining.com.
