Corporate Wellness jobs for dietitians are abundant and expanding. But do you know how to tap into this field?

To learn more about Worksite Wellness or Corporate Wellness job opportunities for dietitians, I sat down with Carolyn Micali, MS, RD, a Health Management Consultant with Marsh & McLennan Agency, LLC, in the Mid-Atlantic Region. She shares her insights for dietitians wanting to find job opportunities in corporate wellness, including how to connect with brokers (or agents) that you can work with to bring in more business.

As a Health Management Consultant, Carolyn taps into her skills she learned as a dietitian to boost her success, including her understanding of disease states, researching and analytical skills, her deep desire to help people, and her ability to sell companies on why health is important and which specific programs are helpful.

NutritionJobs: Tell us about your background as a dietitian, how you got interested in Corporate Wellness, and how you got your job as a Health Management Consultant?

Carolyn Micali, MS, RD: I started in private practice, at a gym, working in weight loss, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. I then found the job as a Health Management Consultant by networking. I work with an insurance broker connecting with companies who have 100-1000 employees. I don't deliver nutrition services now, but rather I help to connect health care with employers wanting worksite wellness for their employees. The best part is I now make more money, have more stability, and I get an annual bonus.

If an RD wants to work in Worksite/Corporate Wellness how should they find brokers to connect with and pitch the idea to work with them? What’s the step-by-step process to find this work?

Carolyn Micali, MS, RD: On LinkedIn:

Connect with similar job titles: Health Management Consultant, wellness consultant, population health consultant
Filter for health insurance or insurance broker.
Start with local companies then move to the big ones, such as Marsh, Gallagher, Willis Towers Watson, AON, Hub International.
When pitching, start the conversation with, “This is what I do, this is my background”.

Market Yourself as a Worksite Wellness or Corporate Wellness Dietitian
