They create healthier employees and reduce insurance claims.  Many companies find that the few year return on investment is three or four to one!

They are also a source of innovation and and leadership at work.  When ex-Sierra Club president Adam Warbach helped Wal-Mart teach store managers eco-sensibility – he realized that wellness programs were the missing link.  When employees learned to take care of their bodies, looking out for the planet made sense (finally).
