Engaging employees is key part of any workplace wellness program. But just like plans themselves, one size of employee engagement does not fit all. You need to customize, which is especially true for Millennials.

PinPointNews.net reports that “When it comes to boosting worker satisfaction and productivity, wellness programs can help companies appeal to millennials, who want to work for employers who take an interest in their health and well-being.”

“A new survey by human resources consulting firm Aon Hewitt shows Millennials are looking for employers that specifically offer wellness programs, Business and Legal Resources reported.”

Rajiv Kumar, CEO of ShapeUp, offers some tips through the Institute of HealthCare Consumerism. Kumar writes that with Millennials “now comprising more than one-third of the workforce, employers hoping to engage this growing and influential demographic must tailor their wellness offerings accordingly to ensure success. That means letting go of many traditional notions in favor of several new ‘rules of engagement.'”

Tips include:

• “Make it social and fun.”
• “Make it intrinsically rewarding.”
• “Make it connected.”
• “Make it part of the culture.”
• “Make it holistic.”
