The most effective way to control rising healthcare costs is still to implement a wellness program. But what is it specifically your program should be doing?

Health Fairs Direct, a corporate health and wellness events provider, recently released a report on the return on investment of specific wellness initiatives.

The report analyzed 50 studies of the wellness programs offered at different organizations including Johnson and Johnson, Citibank, DuPont, Duke University and The California Public Retirees System.

It also took into account reports from major insurance providers including Cigna, United Health Care and Aetna.
