Designing Health: How Environment Shapes Behavior
A “HealthBroker by Health401k™” Case-Based Workshop in Strategic Wellness Architecture
Format: Two half-day or one full-day format
Fields: Environmental Design • Organizational Development • Wellness Strategy
Summary:
This immersive workshop introduced Health401k’s® proprietary HealthBrokering™ model – a multidisciplinary, environment-first approach to wellness design that moves beyond perks and programming to create true behavior change.
Through interactive deconstruction of a real-world case study, participants explored the invisible architecture behind culture change, including the sequencing, trust-building, and momentum-shaping principles that catalyzed a full-scale transformation – beginning with a single vending machine and expanding across food, movement, creativity, connection, and care.
What Participants Learned:
• How to identify friction points and convert them into leverage for broader wellness initiatives
• Why environment consistently outperforms education and habit-stacking in shaping long-term behavior
• The sequencing logic behind the HealthBroker by Health401k™ framework and its staged rollout
• The role of trust, timing, and team configuration in successful implementation
• How to align diverse providers around a unified curriculum and care philosophy
• A clearer lens for identifying when and how to partner with a Health401k® HealthBroker™ to bring these strategies to life.
