There’s a familiar villain undermining the success of workplace wellness efforts—one that quietly fuels rising healthcare costs, absenteeism, OSHA incidents, and lagging productivity.
Meet broken promises—the stealthy saboteur of good intentions.
We all know how it starts. “I’ll start exercising on Monday.” “I’ll wear my steel-toed boots tomorrow.” Despite best intentions, follow-through often falters. And for employers, these lapses in behavior aren’t just personal—they’re organizational. They stand in the way of achieving meaningful progress across health, wellness, and safety initiatives.
Broken promises aren’t just bad habits. They’re symptoms of a deeper issue: a disconnect between motivation and action. Traditional wellness programs often rely on generic messages and policy enforcement, assuming that information and intention are enough. But that approach consistently falls short.
In fact, Hub International’s Employee Benefits Barometer reported that while 66% of employers cite managing benefit costs as a top priority, nearly half admit they don’t plan to introduce any new strategies to address it. Even more striking—over half believe they’ve done all they reasonably can to control rising medical expenses. But if costs are climbing and employee engagement is flatlining, can we really say these efforts are enough?
The same study highlighted a key insight: 51% of HR leaders said wellness programs improve employee morale—followed by reduced stress (32%) and improved productivity (32%). Clearly, the impact is real. But the missing link between intention and execution is what keeps so many programs from achieving sustainable success.
That’s where GoPivot comes in.
At GoPivot, we recognize that good intentions alone don’t drive change—action does. And action only happens when the path forward is clear, the rewards are meaningful, and the process fits into each individual’s daily life. Our approach is built around behavioral science and flexible incentives, empowering organizations to connect purpose with action in a measurable way.
With our points-based incentive model, employees receive personalized nudges, doable action steps, and tailored rewards that align with what actually motivates them. No more one-size-fits-all solutions. No more wasted dollars. Instead of charging per employee per month (PEPM), GoPivot charges only when employees actively engage—creating accountability and ROI.
And we’ve designed the platform to support health, wellness, and safety goals all in one place, making it easier for employees to follow through on promises they might otherwise break. From injury prevention to chronic disease management, everything is integrated, trackable, and backed by data.
For example, through our comprehensive wellness and safety platform, employers can create programs that speak directly to their workforce—whether that means on-site team challenges, self-guided fitness journeys, or custom safety protocols.
And yes—this works for everyone:
Employees get a personalized plan, intrinsic motivation, and the kind of incentives that make healthy habits stick.
Employers finally gain a program that delivers measurable results, increased participation, and real change—with no hidden costs or PEPM.
Brokers and consultants get a powerful new value proposition to bring to clients who are stuck in outdated wellness models.
Let’s stop accepting broken promises as inevitable. Let’s give people a reason to change.
