Employer decision-makers in a Transamerica Center for Health Studies’ survey saw continued positive growth in their wellness programs, reports Employee Benefit News, but the results also showed a disconnect between employers and employees in how each group views those programs.
Among the 1,500 participants in the study, more than half (55%) of employers said they offer a wellness program, but only 36% of employees said their workplace had such a program. An overwhelming majority of employers (80%) said that management was committed to improving employees’ health through wellness programs, while only one-third of employees agreed.
