Worksite Wellness - Wellness Works!!!

Well designed worksite wellness and health promotion programs are powerful employee recruitment and retention tools that also help contain healthcare costs.   On average, employers spend an estimated $ 18,000 per employee per year for all costs related to health and lost productivity due to illness.  Research shows that worksite health promotion programs lead to at least a 25% reduction in these costs and can have returns on investment of $3 to $6.  Savings are typically realized about two to five years after initial investment.

This site provides an introduction to some of the tools and information available nationally, in-state and locally for employers and employees interested in creating and sustaining evidence based worksite wellness and health promotion programs.
