Now startups
are looking at ways to help
companies deliver
wellness programs through those consumer technologies, and
at games and challenges that will help employees meet their
wellness goals.
The Johnson and Johnson
wellness programme, which includes stress management, has
been associated with a reduction in health - care costs of $ 225 per employee per annum (Ozminkowski et al., 2002), while a 4 - year analysis of the Highmark
company wellness programme, including stress management classes and online stress management advice, reported a return on every $ 1 invested of $ 1.65 when
looking at the impact on health - care costs (Naydeck et al., 2008).
