WELLNESS PROGRAMS for BUSINESSES & TEAMS
Why Wellness Matters in the Workplace
LEADING COMPANIES like Google, Aetna, Apple, and Nike have invested in workplace mindfulness programs to support employee well-being and performance. Why? Because mindfulness works.
Proven Results: The Aetna Example:
After implementing its employee mindfulness program, Aetna found:
28% reduction in stress levels among employees
20% improvement in sleep quality
19% reduction in pain levels
62 minutes of additional productivity per employee each week
An estimated $3,000 per employee per year in healthcare savings
The Bigger Picture:
These outcomes show that mindfulness in the workplace doesn’t just help employees feel better — it delivers measurable benefits for organizations. Additional findings include:
Stressed employees cost companies ~$2,000 more per year in healthcare.
At Aetna, annual healthcare costs once exceeded $90 million. After launching mindfulness programs, healthcare costs fell 7%, saving $6.3 million in 2012.
Productivity gains averaged $3,000 per employee, delivering an 11-to-1 return on investment.
