Wellness programs have evolved from nice-to-have components in the benefits plan
of companies to a universal norm ingrained in the modern corporate work culture.
Companies are going the extra yard to incorporate these programs as a low-cost
means to battle stress and sickness of employees and improve overall health and
wellbeing. The result is a happier and healthier workforce that is marked by low
absence and disability claims, thereby improving efficiency and strengthening
business performance. Based on the rationale that these programs can reduce the
unsustainable healthcare costs that plague the US workforce, corporate wellness
platforms have witnessed a rapid ascent post the 1990s. Corporate wellness programs
are offering a plethora of activities and services and vary in terms of their designs.
