Wellness and well-being in the business world has been a hot topic in 2023. It’s being pushed as the next frontier for safety pros. Behind the hype, how many firms are in the wellness/well-being game, and what are they offering employees?
The number of U.S. firms offering workplace wellness programs very much depends on the size of the company. A little more than half (52 percent) of all firms offer wellness programs, according to a 2022 Zippia.com study. A 2017 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also put the overall number at about 50 percent.
