Choose the right perspective
Match the person's workforce to yours, since a wellbeing program for construction sites, airline crews or factory staff differs from one for office and remote employees. Also decide whether you need help setting an overall wellbeing strategy or with specific pieces such as mental health support, benefits or measuring results.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide which wellbeing offerings to fund first, and how do you measure whether they work?
- 02How do you get managers involved in wellbeing without turning them into counselors?
- 03How do you run one wellbeing program across countries with very different health systems and benefits?

How can I contact one of these employee wellbeing programs experts?
Pick one of the 10 people on this page and choose "Book a paid call", or describe your project to find others. You offer a fee for a 15-minute call or a written answer, Instant Expert finds the person's work email and sends the invitation, and they decide whether to accept. The list covers 10 companies, including GSK, Qantas and Thales, based on profile data retrieved on October 4, 2026. Being listed here doesn't mean someone has agreed to take calls.

You choose the offer, starting at $5 per person. It includes Instant Expert's 20% fee, so an offer that pays the person $100 costs you $125. You're charged only when the person books the call or sends the answer.
What if they don't reply?
You pay nothing. Instant Expert sends follow-up reminders, and if the person hasn't booked or answered within 7 days, the request expires and any hold on your card is released. You can invite several of the 10 people on this list at once and cap your total spend, so you pay only for the ones who accept.
