FORMING RECOMMENDATIONS USING CORRELATIONS BETWEEN WELLNESS AND PRODUCTIVITY
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- identifying a computing system having a storage subsystem, wherein the storage subsystem comprises at least a database area having a series of records stored on a computer-readable medium, where individual records are accessed using at least a primary key;
collecting, from a first database area, a plurality of first observations pertaining to employee productivity, the first observations comprising direct or indirect productivity measurements;
collecting, from a second database area, a plurality of second observations pertaining to employee wellness, the second observations comprising direct or indirect employee wellness measurements;
calculating, using the processor, one or more correlations between the first observations and the second observations; and
forming a recommendation based at least in part on at least one of the one or more correlations.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for computer-aided administration of wellness programs. Processing commences upon collecting first observations based on direct or indirect productivity measurements, then collecting second observations pertaining based on direct or indirect employee wellness measurements. Correlations between the first observations and the second observations are made, and based on the correlations, recommendations are formed. Recommendations can be emitted to an employee or to a program manager. The employee productivity measurements comprise working hours per time period, absentee hours per time period, units produced over a time period, revenue per employee, profit per employee, revenue per work hour, and/or profit per work hour. The employee wellness measurements comprise an assessment of a number of hours of exercise per time period, a number of steps taken per time period, a nutrition intake per time period, a body characteristic, and/or a quantity of caffeine-fortified beverages consumed per time period.
