Evolution of Employee Well-Being Programs

The concept of employee well-being has evolved significantly since its origins in the 1700s and 1800s, when companies sought to enhance safety and health through housing and employee benefits. Notable examples, such as the Cadbury factory, laid the groundwork for modern well-being initiatives. Today, organizations implement a wide range of programs, including health centers, mental health support, and digital wellness tools. Despite the plethora of options, many companies struggle to measure the return on investment of these programs, leaving them overwhelmed by the complexities of the well-being market.
