Why C-Suite Leaders Are Prioritizing Wellness, and How Your Business Can Too
Wellness has become a boardroom topic. Across industries, executives are recognizing that employee health is no longer just an HR responsibility, it’s a business strategy. According to the Business Group on Health, 91% of large employers now have a formal wellbeing strategy, with nearly half ranking mental health as their top concern. Rising healthcare costs, shifting workforce expectations and the undeniable link between productivity and wellbeing are driving this focus.
Employer health plan costs are projected to rise 9% in 2026, the steepest increase in more than a decade. To manage these rising costs while maintaining a healthy, productive workforce, business leaders are embedding wellness into their broader operational and financial strategies.
The ROI of Supporting Employee Health
When employers invest in their workforce’s wellbeing, the benefits extend far beyond morale.
- Fewer claims and reduced absenteeism
- Higher retention and engagement rates
- Improved safety and compliance
- Lower healthcare costs and better productivity
The challenge for many organizations isn’t recognizing the need, it’s finding practical, measurable ways to act on it. That’s where Medcor helps.
