Worksite wellness still seems to be somewhat new. The larger the company, the less new it is. But for the rural setting, we are talking about something pretty new in comparison to other types of settings.

However, as many companies see rising insurance premiums, increased sick days, dissatisfaction at work, and an increased population of chronic diseases the need for proactive wellness programs gradually show up on agendas as "needed."

As I focus on a wellness program for a worksite, I found this quote to be interesting...

“Wellness programs cannot survive in today’s economy without a strong linkage to business goals, and high levels of employee participation and engagement" ~ Barry Hall, principal, Buck Consultants.

I am excited to see what the future holds for corporate wellness programs. As they become more and more popular, there will be more and more resources.

The bottom line is that there must be a lot of participation in the part of the employees to make things work.

I hope employees are ready for the future of wellness and will participate and engage in the program that is offered!
