ValidPoints March issue: Personify Health validated for outcomes, the BEST way to measure employee engagement, RFP process enhancements
Announcing a New Validation for March, 2025
By verifying health care vendors’ performance claims, we make it easier for purchasers to make more cost-effective, value-based decisions.
Congratulations to Personify Health on its recently awarded validation for Outcomes:
We are excited to announce the launch of the Benefits Engagement Survey Tool (BEST), a groundbreaking solution designed to transform how organizations assess and enhance employee engagement with benefit programs. Unlike traditional methods that often conflate participation with true engagement, BEST offers a precise evaluation, enabling you to distinguish between mere involvement and genuine appreciation of your offerings.
Key Features of BEST :
- Concise Evaluation: Employees respond to a brief three-question survey for each selected benefit program, ensuring efficient and meaningful feedback.
- Comprehensive Insights: Gain a clear understanding of which programs resonate most with your workforce and identify areas needing improvement.
- Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Visualize engagement levels relative to program costs, empowering data-driven decisions to optimize your benefits portfolio.
By implementing BEST, you can enhance employee satisfaction, improve retention rates, and ensure that your investment in benefits yields maximum value.
To learn more about how BEST can revolutionize your benefits strategy, visit Validation Institute’s BEST page.
15-Minutes Webinar about the BEST
Yep. In quite literally 15 minutes, this Microwebinar will reveal how to measure the engagement of all of your programs. And even how to rank them in order of cost-effectiveness of that engagement. All with a simple, but powerful employee survey tool that quite literally takes 5-7 minutes to complete.
It often takes a lot of effort to make something easy, and that’s exactly what we’ve done. It’s taken us 5 years to get this exactly right, but it’s official now: we’ve obsoleted every other metric for ranking your programs’ engagement stats.
Don’t believe us? Think you have a better idea? There’s a million-dollar reward in it if you do. [SPOILER ALERT: You don’t.]
Since our Microwebinar is only 15 minutes long (plus 5 minutes for Q&A), we are offering multiple options for attending it:
The RFP PowerTool
We are excited to announce the launch of the RFP PowerTool, a comprehensive resource designed to enhance the effectiveness of your Request for Proposal (RFP) processes. This tool addresses critical gaps often found in traditional RFPs and vendor contracts, focusing on areas such as:
- Validity of Claimed Outcomes or Savings: Ensures that vendors provide transparent and verifiable performance data.
- Conflict of Interest Disclosures: Identifies and mitigates potential biases in vendor relationships.
- Engagement Measurement: Differentiates between mere participation and genuine engagement in vendor programs.
By integrating the RFP PowerTool into your procurement strategy, you can make more informed decisions, select vendors that truly align with your organization’s goals, and ultimately achieve better outcomes and cost efficiencies.
Think You Have a Better Solution? Take the $1,000,000 RFP PowerTool Reward Challenge!
In conjunction with the RFP PowerTool launch, we are offering a $1,000,000 reward to any actuary or benefits consultant who believes their RFP is superior in addressing the components covered by our tool. This challenge underscores our confidence in the RFP PowerTool’s effectiveness and our commitment to advancing best practices in vendor selection.

A 30-year study following more than 100,000 people draws the link between healthy aging and (drum roll please . . . .) higher intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsaturated fats, nuts, legumes and low fat dairy products.
