Employer Participation in Wellness Programs

Source: Reuters, August 10, 2013 In response to the rapidly growing employer wellness-based incentive program market, Weight Watchers is planning to commit more resources to it’s workforce division. This division, called Health Solutions, partners with corporations to create incentive programs with Weight Watchers. Although the market appears to be growing, employers are not required to report participation in these programs, so it is hard to gather exact data, said Harald Schmidt.
