Is investing in workplace wellness worth it for a business?
Yes, each business must look at its own situation, especially its average health care cost for each employee, usually in the range of $4000 to $8000 per year. The investment of a few hundred dollars per employee with an ROI of several hundred percent can be a major offset to those healthcare costs. No other investment is a business is can provide that kind of return. In fact, with the projected continued increasing rates on health care premiums in coming years, business that do not invest in employee wellness are likely to see their bottom line turn from black to red.
