The global Corporate Wellness Market size is expected to reach USD 93.4 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2021 to 2028. Medtronic (Covidien), ComPsych, Wellness Corporate Solutions, Virgin Pulse, Provant Health Solutions are some of the key players in this industry. Rising obese and overweight population increases insurance costs that account for the financial burden on the employers. The corporate wellness initiatives target particular health risk factors such as stress, obesity, smoking, poor eating, and lack of exercise.
The pandemic has caused a change in the process of delivering wellness services. Although in-person sessions have resumed to some extent, the virtual platform has been made available to at-risk employees to meet their psychological and fitness needs. Initially, the lockdown imposed due to COVID19 resulted in transition to work from home, causing a great deal of stress. Employers have started offering some kind of fitness program for the purpose of disease prevention and improve productivity. According to a study conducted by Harvard economists, absenteeism costs fall by USD 2.7 for every dollar spent on fitness programs. Therefore, employees need to be encouraged to adopt a healthier lifestyle to improve their performance.
Employers providing the programs have noticed a significant rise in productivity and a decline in leaves and attrition. In addition, companies in the U.K. initiated the Fit for Work service, which offers a tax benefit of USD 663.3 per year. Organizations are providing wearables, such as Fitbit, Apple watch, and Google watches, which helps in keeping track of parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure.
