Worksite health and wellness programs have proven effective at improving the health of employees, lowering overall health care costs, reducing absenteeism, and improving employee morale and productivity. Comprehensive health and wellness programs have resulted in returns on investment averaging $3 benefit for every $1 in cost. Worksite health and wellness programs across the federal government vary in scope; however, few, if any, could be considered at a comprehensive level that would constitute best practice. The Office of Personnel Management has been directed by the President to develop worksite wellness models for the federal workforce that is on par with best practice in the private sector.
