Summary

A growing number of employers are taking a new proactive and preventative approach to rising costs by developing and utilizing wellness programs as a standard adaptation to their suite of benefits. Research shows that by encouraging healthy behaviors and choices, these organizations are reaping the rewards of decreased sick time, disability and health care costs, as well as savings in workers’ compensation claims and costs. Further analysis shows that these measurable items are only a portion of the cost savings, and don’t include savings associated with recruitment and retention of employees, reputation and employee engagement or productivity.
