Wellness Program Benefits

Professionally designed programs bring considerable savings.

Scores of wellness programs have documented substantial economic benefits for their organizations and their shareholders. At Johnson & Johnson, for example, company leaders estimate that wellness programs have cumulatively saved $250 million over the past decade, and that the return was $2.71 for every dollar spent. Other researchers, including the Harvard Business School, have found similar ROI figures.
