Benefits Think Would wellness programs work if strategically linked to benefit plan design?

Published 3 Min Read

Wellness programs have been taking some lumps over the last year thanks to research from the University of Illinois and Harvard University, suggesting many of these efforts don’t work. This is due in large part to a failure and inability to demonstrate the financial return on investment, despite the capability of integrating the functions, processes, data, and people of the health investment portfolio.

Well-being initiatives have especially been left on an island to justify their value, without being fully integrated strategically into the health investment portfolio.
