Abstract

Identifying individual change readiness characteristics can help organization development professionals in prescribing and implementing more effective change interventions. This paper presents improved overall employee wellness as one such characteristic. It explains why workplace wellness programs are often more successful than outside wellness programs. It also defines the dimensions of wellness, provides examples of wellness programs, discusses readiness for change theories and research, presents individual reluctance to change, and introduces the connection between wellness and the preparation of employees for change.
