The debate about whether employer wellness programs return significant health care savings rages on, but one thing is apparent: wellness is a big deal for employees and potential recruits.
According to a survey from staffing firm OfficeTeam, workers expect employers to provide them assistance in meeting their health and wellness goals—and another study, this one from Optum, finds that employees “who actively participate in employer-sponsored health and wellness programs are much more likely to be proud to work for their employer and promote their company to others as a great place to work.”
