In the present data, the composite index of health risk, indicated by Health Age is significantly lower by approximately three years for the high participation relative to the low participation group. With respect to sick leave days taken, the low participation group exhibits 9 days per year relative to the 5 days per year taken by high participation group. Although not statistically significant, self-reported productivity appears to be rated more highly for the group with most participation. However, a measure highly related to job productivity, but reflecting job satisfaction is more positive for individuals with the most participation time. There are few corporate wellness programs, if any, that can manifest comparable characteristics.
