3. Results for clients 2 (the M Factor): Many wellness programs under-perform .. in behavioral & fiscal results .. since participant motivation quickly evaporates [Rand Corporation report, May 2013].

4. Results for clients 3 (the complete toolkit needed): To meet the broad range of clients’ aims, today’s Stress Consultant’s competencies must be equally broad and flexible .. yet evidence-based.
