The benefits of a corporate wellness program are lowered medical costs, improved productivity, happier, healthier and more loyal employees, and lower disease prevalence rates. When a high-quality program is implemented, and motivation to engage in a campaign is changed from extrinsic motivation ("I want the prize") to intrinsic motivation (to "be" healthier) the campaigns can improve an employee’s self-perceived quality of health and quality of life. These changes lead to those benefits cited above. Simple programming that is just a collection of tools and resources does not accomplish this.
Several randomized control trials conducted by HealthMedia showed that high-quality, scalable, low-cost interventions can lower health care costs from $110 per participant to as much as $650 per participant. The ROI therefore is a function of the cost of the intervention.
Employers of all sizes and industries seeking to reduce their insurance costs should understand that claims are primarily driving the increases. Risks – specifically the behavioral and lifestyle risks of your employees – fuel claims. So, to reduce cost employers must find cost effective ways to reduce risk, as cost follows risk. All of Mercury's wellness programs incorporate fun, engagement, and early detection designed as campaigns that improve and maintain the health of your workforce and their families. A healthier workforce and dependent population will incur fewer claims, be more productive, have less absenteeism/presenteeism. Also, corporate health and wellness programs don’t require any employer investment. So what logical reason would an employer have to not implement a health and wellness program?
