Finding the ROI in workplace wellness

To read the headlines, it’s a wonder if anyone knows what to really make of wellness programs.

“Corporate wellness programs: Not quite the cost savers”

 

“Wellness programs show hard-dollar savings”

“Study shows no quick savings from wellness programs”

“Employee wellness programs provide significant savings over time”

“How can an employer tell if its corporate wellness program is really working?”

Clearly, there is plenty of disagreement on the topic. It may be due to a lack of historical data. That may be why more than 75 percent of respondents to a recent survey by the National Business Group on Health said they do not know their return on investment for wellness programs.
