It should come as no surprise that healthy employees boost a company’s bottom line. They experience less sick time and take fewer disability days. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 75% of employers' health care costs and productivity losses are related to employee lifestyle choices. Many wellness experts believe to actually improve the health of employees, companies must focus on long-term behavior change. "To get measurable results, businesses have to build around stages of change," says Leslie Nolen, president of The Radial Group. "That’s about the only thing that works. Most wellness programs are not effective because there’s a lack of real commitment." To keep employees from bailing on health commitments, companies need to offer a program of gradual incentives. Consider a wellness plan that allows employees to accumulate points for reaching health milestones. "Offering incentives increases participation at a minimum of 60%."
