Adding a Workplace Wellness Program?

While things like retirement benefits, health insurance, and short- and long-term disability are still crucial, they’re hardly enough to woo today’s top-tier employee. If you really want to attract the best candidates, a benefits package stuffed with perks is essential.

One of the easiest ways to stand out from the rest?

Add a wellness program to your current package.

Consider these statistics:

• About 87% of employees said they consider health and wellness offerings when choosing an employer (Forbes, 2013).

• 63% of employers offering wellness programs reported increased financial sustainability and growth (IFEBP, 2017).

• For every dollar spent on wellness programs, a business saves $5.82 in employee absenteeism costs (ISDH).

• The most popular wellness programs include smoking cessation (91%), physical activity programs (86%), and weight management (79%) (Fidelity, 2017).

• 61% of employees enrolled in a company’s wellness program reported healthier lifestyle changes (Alfac, 2017).



• A workplace wellness program positively influences everyone in an organization—yours would be no different.
