Results:

Comprehensive, well-designed employee wellbeing initiatives can lower or stabilize healthcare costs, improve productivity, reduce turnover, and boost employee wellbeing, engagement, job satisfaction, and retention. Employee wellbeing initiatives should not be viewed as an operational expense, but rather as an investment in your workforce. Like any investment, it takes time to see results. A wealth of research demonstrates that well-designed programs can expect to see financial savings within 3-5 years.

Comprehensive employee wellbeing programs reduce medical costs by an average of $3.27 for every dollar invested and reduce absenteeism costs by $2.73 for every dollar invested.

Based on the 2017 Workplace Health in America Survey data was released in 2019, organizations engaged in Working Well significantly outperform national benchmarks in many areas.

Comprehensive Framework:

Most employers offer wellness programs, but only a small percentage of these are comprehensive. While most wellness initiatives focus heavily or solely on programming, education, and incentives, Working Well helps employers to design a best-practice, effective and sustainable wellbeing strategy. We help employers to move from “random acts of wellness” to a thoughtfully designed strategy with a proper foundation. Offering programs that are not supported by the workplace culture and environment is counterproductive, sets employees up for failure, and wastes resources. Instead, Working Well helps organizations create a workplace that makes the healthy choice the easy choice for all employees.
