average employee wellness participation percent
Program Availability and Use of Incentives Vary by Employer Size. In our survey, 69 percent of employers with more than 50 employees offered a wellness program, and 75 percent of programs included incentives to encourage participation.
Whatâs more, healthy employees stay with your company. A study by Towers Watson and the National Business Group on Health shows that organizations with highly effective wellness programs report significantly lower voluntary attrition than do those whose programs have low effectiveness (9% vs. 15%).
