Workers fail to address their own health concerns

Employees are concerned about their health and well-being, but they lack specific knowledge of their health status and motivation to change poor behaviors

It may pay for employers to go the limit to encourage worker health. A Humana study from August 2019 found that a healthy workforce leads to higher productivity and healthcare savings. The health insurer said that highly engaged workers had lower medical costs and fewer emergency room visits and hospital admissions.

Some employers are being recognized for investing in employee health for all the advantages that a healthy workforce brings.
