More than 40 percent of employees at mid-sized businesses say having a wellness program offered by their employer would, or does, encourage them to work harder and perform better, according to a recent Principal Financial Well-Being Index.

To meet the demand, The Principal, a retirement and global asset management leader, has introduced a new wellness program designed to suit midsized businesses.

“We know that with wellness one size doesn’t necessarily fit all, which is why we’ve taken a different approach for midsize businesses,” says Lee Dukes, president of Principal Wellness Company, a subsidiary of the Principal Financial Group. “Our programs for these businesses contain many of the features available to large companies, but are flexible enough to still meet the specific needs of these businesses at an affordable cost.”
