FACT 1: “Changing unhealthy behaviors saves money. Companies that target three major modifiable risk factors by changing individual behaviors can save an average of $700 per employee per year in health care costs and productivity improvements.”

FACT 2: “Employees are looking for wellness help from their employers. When employers offer a wellness program, 57% of employees report that they participate, including 44% of older boomers who are potentially more at risk for costly chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.”

FACT 3: “The number of wellness programs offered by employers – even small and mid-sized ones – has doubled over the last five years. The number of companies (with less than 500 employees) offering wellness programs grew from 16% in 2007 to 34% in 2012.”
