To create a culture that supports employee well-being, most companies turn to a corporate wellness program. However, a recent UnitedHealthcare consumer study, “Wellness Checkup”, offers some helpful insight into employees’ knowledge and opinions of workplace wellness programs. Wellness Checkup helped shed some light on why some employees embrace wellness programs and why other employees do not. With more than half of employees vouching for the success of wellness programs, employers might question what’s holding non-participating employees back from taking full advantage of wellness programs. A whopping 62% of respondents reported that they would be interested in using a wearable fitness tracker as part of their corporate wellness program.
