"'Health and Wellness Initiatives: The Shift From Managing Illness to Promoting Health,' Center for Studying Health System Change: The issue brief found that health plan initiatives designed to promote health and wellness among workers have become commonplace, even though there is a lack of evidence that the programs save businesses money...According to the study, the increase in health and wellness initiatives is a result of large employers looking for long-term strategies to address rising costs and to support their plan to give employees more responsibility for health care decisions and costs."Of course there is no "evidence that the programs save businesses money."
They cannot.
They can only cost businesses money.
They are based on the same flawed foundations as all sick care initiatives in the overweight/obesity "war."
For a wellness program to succeed or for an Employee Assistance Program to work, it has to depart from the conventional stupidity.
Otherwise, it is doomed to fail.
