“Employers continue to invest in wellness programs aimed at improving employees’ health. In 2014, 3 in 4 employers plan to offer incentives to employees who participate in health improvement programs compared = and the financial value of these incentives has grown to $500, up from $338 in 2010,” according to Health Populi.
“In the past 5 years, employers have increased their investments in wellness: the chart illustrates the growth of programs addressing physical activity/weight management and health eating, both of which are gaining companies’ investments. Dollar investments in healthy eating programs, in particular, have seen double-digit growth since 2009 (the first year this survey was conducted). About two-thirds of employers have increased spending on nutritional labeling and health food options, in particular. One-third of employers are investing in healthy food discounts in 2014.”
“Onsite fitness centers have grown while discounts/subsidies to offsite gyms are receding in popularity among employers. Health challenges, too, are gaining traction with employers: two-thirds of employers in this survey used health challenges in 2013, most commonly for physical activity (94%), weight loss (68%), and to support individual health goals (32%).”
