A new report released by Virgin Pulse—the habits-focused well-being company—reveals that employers are implementing wellness programs to achieve business objectives and address HR priorities.

More than half of the HR professionals surveyed in the report say they are looking to improve employee engagement (60%), productivity (53%), and organizational culture (52.8%) through wellness, which is no longer being seen as strictly an HR initiative, but rather a business imperative.
For the second year in a row, Virgin Pulse partnered with Human Capital Media, the research arm of Workforce magazine, to survey more than 1,000 HR professionals across levels and industries. The resulting report, “State of the Industry: Employee Well-being in 2016,” details how and why organizations are budgeting, implementing, measuring, and improving employee wellness programs.
