Wellness can achieve ROIs of 4 to 1

Corporate America is increasingly investing in employee wellness because it is good business.  In order to meet productivity demands, corporations must rely on a healthy, productive workforce to succeed in the highly competitive global marketplace.  Over a hundred studies in both corporate and governmental settings have documented the economic benefits of employee wellness programs, including reduced absenteeism, reduced injuries and workman’s compensation costs, reduced health care costs, reduced employee turnover, as well as increased productivity, greater worker satisfaction, and improved morale.

The more recent literature reflects improvements in wellness programming along with greater return on investment.  In general, the more focused and intensive the program, the greater is the ongoing benefit to be realized.
