Abstract

This study addresses Workplace Wellness Programs (WWP) in large and small businesses to assess if and how they are effective, what employers perceived about WWP, and what components from a WWP are perceived as best for achieving desired results. In order to address this, 10 large and small business in the city of Columbus, Georgia were interviewed. The literature suggested that businesses should consider implementing WWPs. After conducting the interviews, local businesses do in fact support workplace wellness as they perceive a WWP may help reduce stress and an unhealthy lifestyle for employees, and in turn, develop a more productive employee.
