The only thing spookier than not having a wellness program in place is having one that doesn’t reduce costs while improving the health of your employees. Unfortunately, for most employers, current health care offerings makes this situation a reality.

Employers are spending money on wellness but not seeing much of a return. The results they hope to see are that employees start taking preventive steps to stave off chronic disease and catch problems before they become more serious (and costly) issues. Instead, many are getting tricked by wellness programs that don’t fit their needs or provide value. It’s important that a health and well-being platform is simple to use, addresses chronic conditions and employee lifestyles, and uses predictive analytics to prevent health issues—which can lead to major savings for employers and improved life for its people.
