Employers still have a lot of work to do to make their wellness programs more
effective, according to a study released Thursday, April 3, by Hewitt
Associates. While companies are devoting more time and money into helping employees live
healthier lifestyles, employees aren’t sure they want their employers taking on
this role, according to Hewitt.
Eighty-eight percent of employers surveyed plan to invest in ways to improve
the health and productivity of their workforces, up from 66 percent last
year.
But only 12 percent of employees believe that it’s appropriate for their
employer to play this role. This presents a huge challenge for companies, says
Jim Winkler, leader of Hewitt’s health management consulting practice.
