1. Workplace wellness pays off. Evidence shows that for every dollar spent on workplace wellness yields on average $3 in health care savings. That’s an impressive ROI for any employer group.
2. Employees who participate in workplace wellness programs are absent less often and perform at a higher level, on average, than nonparticipating employees.
3. A company that cares about its employees’ health is often seen as a better place to work, making it easier to attract and retain employees in a competitive market.
4. Grants are available starting in 2011 under the recently passed federal health care reform legislation for eligible employers to provide comprehensive workplace wellness programs.
