Corporate Wellness Strategy

In 2014, the RAND Corporation assessed the PepsiCo wellness programme and found that disease management which focused on helping employees with diabetes and hypertension, had a strong return on investment of $3.78 USD for every $1 USD spent on the disease management programme (Mattke, Liu, Caloyeras, Huang, Van Busum, Khodyakov, Shier, Exum, and Broderick).

Research shows that companies with healthy employees experience low rates of absenteeism, higher rates of productivity, reported less injuries on the job, experienced increased morale and had a stronger sense of loyalty to the company.
