The eleventh annual Health Confidence Survey will be release on Oct. 24, and the results indicate a growing number of Americans are embracing wellness programs in the workplace to battle rising health care costs. Wellness programs are rapidly expanding as employers recognize that not only is providing a comprehensive program simply the right thing to do for employees; it's key to driving down healthcare costs.

As employers increasingly encourage workers to adopt healthier lifestyles within the workplace, more than four out of five Americans (82 percent) say they have a positive view toward wellness programs. Another 76 percent of Americans agree employers who offer wellness programs are showing concern for their workers.
