Health Net has published information on wellness programs and has sited that more employers are implementing wellness programs in their work places. As a result of this implementation employees are reporting a reduction in their personal health care costs. Some wellness programs are tide to the company's health plans (Kaiser is one example). In these models, the insurance company makes wellness plans available to all it's members. The other option available are independent wellness companies that come into the workplace in addition to the companies health insurance.
Which one has a better outcome can be debated. What is most important to note is that when an employee can reduce it's out of pocket costs related to their own health they will be happier and more likely to stay on a course of well being. That well being translates into a more productive worker for the employer. It is a win win situation. I'm sure we will only see growth in this area as other health care costs continue to rise.
