Report: Workers not earning all available wellness incentives

摘要

Washington-Employers are spending more on wellness programs to improve worker health, but workers are not taking advantage of millions in potential savings, according to the results of a survey from Fidelity Investments and the nonprofit organization National Business Group on Health. Employers use incentives-such as lowered health care premiums and cash-to entice workers to participate in wellness programs. Of the more than 120 companies surveyed, 79 percent offered wellness programs in 2014. However, only 47 percent of workers in the survey had earned a full incentive for participating in the programs.
