Wellness is becoming an increasingly popular offering for both employers and employees — and with positive results. According to a recent study from UnitedHealthcare, nearly three-quarters of employees say they are interested in wellness programs, and 59% of employees with access to wellness programs say the initiatives have improved their health.
Still, employers can move the wellness needle even more by taking a number of steps to refine — or begin, if they haven’t already — a wellness program, says Rebecca Madsen, UnitedHealthcare chief consumer officer.
