Insurance giant Humana claims that its wellness program has improved employee health and productivity, as well as saved the company big bucks in health care costs.
Humana employees who took part in a rewards-oriented wellness program run by Vitality, a major wellness vendor, missed six fewer hours of work during a three year period than workers who did not participate in the initiative, the company announced.
