“Larger employers are making a second shift—toward wellness programs. They’re successfully managing costs by encouraging healthier lifestyles.”
“Implementing a wellness program is a good investment.
- Each $1 invested in a comprehensive wellness program saves about $3 in health care costs, according to the Wellness Council of America.
- Medical costs drop by about $3.27 for every dollar spent on corporate wellness programs, and absenteeism costs fall by $2.73 for each dollar invested, according to an analysis of 36 studies by Harvard University researchers.
- Employers who offer wellness programs can slow health care cost increases by 15 percent, according to a Highmark BCBS study published in the American Journal of Health Promotion.”
