Do corporate wellness programs really have a
positive return on investment?
The evidence is pretty clear that they do.
Corporate wellness programs properly implemented can have a return on investment
that outweighs other types of business investments. Consider these facts:
From our
corporate wellness
programs page: Motorola Wellness Initiatives had a return on
investment of $3.93 for every $1 with approximately $6.5 million annual
savings in medical expenses for lifestyle-related diagnoses.
Pepsico invested 2 million dollars in corporate
wellness programs, and their return on investment was $3 for every $1. DuPont
invested $1.2 million dollars with a return on investment of $5 for ever $1
spent. Source:
Integrative Therapeutics
Citibank’s health management program reported an
estimated return on investment of $4.56 to $4.73 saved per $1 spent on the
program (AJHP, Ozminkowski, Goetzel et al., 1999). Source:
Living Well
Living Well reports
that a highly structured and focused corporate wellness program offered to a
large majority of employees will provide a return on investment of from 3.6:1 to
as high as 7:1. Where else could you get a return on investment of
360% up to 700%?
Many other examples and studies exist. See
the
The Health Project - C. Everett Koop National Health Award website.
