1Author Affiliation: Student, Edgewood College, Madison, Wisconsin; and Clinical Instructor, University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Nursing.
Abstract:
Workplace wellness programs are expected to reduce employee healthcare costs, increase productivity, and provide a positive return on investment. A review of the literature from 2000 to 2016 was conducted to determine whether workplace wellness programs deliver a positive economic impact. Individual financial metrics and results varied; 6 of 7 studies reported a positive economic impact. Additional study is recommended because of the high-degree variability and lack of longitudinal data.
