Wellness programs popular

Nearly half of U.S. workplaces now offer wellness programs, a new study finds.

“Most American adults work, and many spend half or more of their waking hours at work," said study author Laura Linnan. She's a professor in the department of health behavior at the University of North Carolina's School of Global Public Health.

“Where we work, how long we work, the conditions of our work, who we work with – all of these factors impact our health,” she said. The larger the workplace, the more likely it was to have a wellness program, the survey revealed.
