Investing in your employees’ health and wellness has many benefits that ultimately builds a culture of wellness in the workplace. Intentional efforts towards this culture has advantages for both the employer and the employee. For the employer, it can increase productivity, morale and employee longevity. For the employee, it can decrease health care costs over time as well as reduce absenteeism due to illness.

A wellness program should convey to employees that their employer cares about their health and wellness. These programs can identify risk areas to help the employee make lifestyle changes. They can also assist in maintaining an individual’s wellbeing during the workday by providing education and accountability. Many times these programs extend to spouses, which then leads to additional wellness support in the home.
