title: Characteristics of successful wellness programs.
abstract: Wellness programs have proved to be an effective tool to use in reining in health care costs. This author describes successful wellness programs and shows that these programs not only improve the bottom line for employers or Taft-Hartley funds, but they also help employees feel better about themselves and more positive about the organization they work for.
