Most employers are planning to boost spending on wellness programs this year despite the mixed results on their efficacy.
More than 80% of employers said they are planning to increase their health and wellness budgets over the next three years, which is up sharply from 61% last year and more than double the 34% who planned to in 2009, according to an annual workplace study from UnitedHealth Group’s Optum.
Of the 544 companies polled across multiple sectors, more than twice as many employers also indicated that workplace well-being programs are more important to their employee benefits mix than they were a decade ago as they predominantly look to reduce healthcare costs, attract and retain talent, reduce absenteeism, and improve morale.
