Corporate Wellness Privacy

Meaning

Corporate Wellness Privacy is the set of legal, ethical, and technological mandates that govern the collection, storage, use, and disclosure of employee health information within an employer-sponsored wellness program. This concept ensures that sensitive medical data, including biometric screening results, health risk assessment responses, and any information related to hormonal status, is protected from misuse by the employer. Strict adherence to federal laws like HIPAA, the ADA, and GINA is required to maintain confidentiality and prevent this information from being used in employment decisions such as hiring, promotion, or termination. Maintaining privacy is fundamental to fostering employee trust and encouraging voluntary participation.
