Worksite Wellness


Worksite wellness, also known as corporate wellness or workplace wellness, is a form of wellness programming that is focused on improving the health and well-being of employees and family members.

Why do companies implement worksite wellness programs? There are many reasons why companies choose to implement worksite wellness programs. Not all of these reasons are economic, but statistically companies that choose to implement worksite wellness programs do spend less money on insurance premiums and medical claims than companies without wellness programs.

Another primary driving factor for worksite wellness is the increasing age of the working population. The baby boomer generation is getting older and yet many workers are choosing to remain in the workforce rather than retire. With increased age comes increased risk for health problems. In order to curtail these costs, worksite wellness programs can play a pivotal role in altering bad health habits and preventing catastrophic heart conditions through early detection and health screening.

Many workers do not think about spouses and dependents as major sources of healthcare expense, but oftentimes spouses will spend more per year for healthcare than the employees themselves. All of this medical care utilization takes its toll on corporations, who in essence are responsible for not only maintaining a solid bottom-line, but also providing for the health needs of non-workers. Worksite wellness programs, therefore, are sometimes the only way for employers to have policies that can reach across the boundary into the home and help spouses and even dependents to practice healthy habits.
