Is your company looking for a way to both decrease its healthcare costs and help employees attain better health? Try wellness programs and make sure to offer incentives.
A recent study from the National Business Group on Health and Watson Wyatt reported that almost half (46%) of the employers they interviewed offer financial incentives to encourage healthy behaviors.
And according to Interactive Health Solutions (IHS), Arlington Heights, Ill., a provider of population health management programs, the incentives are translating into bottom-line savings. A recent article in Industry Week reported that companies using IHS programs spend $2,850 less per employee on annual healthcare costs.
