Fact:

One of the most important shifts in the corporate world in recent years has been the commitment to employee wellness incentives and programs. Current statistics indicate that 70 to 80% of illnesses and disease in North America are preventable, and preventable illnesses account for 90% of all health care costs. According to a study published by the "American Journal of Health Promotions," for every $1 spent on wellness programs, employers can expect a return of $2.30 to $10.10 through lower medical claims, reduced absenteeism, improved productivity and other factors.

Case Studies:

Here are a few specific examples of what happens when a company commits to a wellness program:
  • Union Pacific Railroad instituted a "modest wellness program" and reported saving $1.26 million in health care costs in just one year, more than 50% more than they had put into starting it
  • Canadian Life Assurance Company reported that employee turnover was reduced 32.4% over 7 years among employees who used the program
  • DuPont Corporation announced a 47.5% reduction in absenteeism over a six-year period for their wellness program participants.
