Employee wellness is essential to business and organizational success. Beyond medical costs, healthy employees are more productive, deliver optimal performance, have less stress, and overall better quality of life. 89% of workers at companies that support well-being initiatives are more likely to recommend their company as a good place to work and 60% of people report that benefits and perks are a major factor when considering whether to accept a job offer.
Employee wellness programs have become an important benefit to offer in the workplace. Employee wellness programs can help employees prevent and maintain their health by providing tools, resources, and strategies for healthy lifestyle behaviors. However developing and implementing a wellness program may seem like a big undertaking and investment, but did you know your insurance carrier may be able to help by offering Wellness Dollars?
Wellness dollars are the funds set aside by your insurance carrier for you to utilize in your company wellness programs. These dollars can help improve the scope of your corporate wellness initiatives and help your employees become healthier. These funds can help cover wellness events, activities, and resources, ranging from chair massage to gym memberships; wearable devices to mindfulness workshops; and fitness classes and health talks.
Unfortunately, many companies are unaware that they have an existing fund of wellness dollars available to them.
Contact your insurance carrier to determine if Wellness Dollars are available as part of your coverage.
Ask what programs qualify for wellness dollars. There may be some guidelines or restrictions on the sort of expenses that can be reimbursed.
Start researching and planning your virtual or onsite wellness activities.
Once you determine that Wellness Dollars are available, you can start planning your holistic wellness programs and activities. FitPros offers over 45 wellness programs spanning physical, emotional, and social experiences to improve the health and happiness of your employees.
