  Description: There is a growing body of research that shows that wellness programs are not just good for employees health, but good for their employers' bottom lines, too. A report released earlier this year by the Incentive Research.

  
  

  Foundation noted that research by the American Institute for Preventative Medicine found that workplace wellness programs return more than $3 for every dollar invested in reduced medical expenses alone. And the American Heart Association goes further, noting that companies running worksite wellness programs have reduced employer healthcare costs by 20 to 55 percent.

  
  

  Of course, getting that benefit requires more than just creating a wellness program; it requires active employee participation, which is often a struggle. This is where incentives can play a vital role. In this webinar you will learn:
