Most corporate wellness programs don’t reduce healthcare costs.

That’s not opinion—it’s backed by research. A study from the RAND Corporation found that:
Wellness programs increase awareness
But often fail to significantly reduce costs
Why?
Because they don’t change what employees do every day. Now here’s where it gets interesting…
Research from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health shows:
$3.27 ROI for every $1 spent on healthcare
$2.73 ROI from reduced absenteeism
But only when behavior actually changes.
That’s the gap most companies are missing. They’re investing in:
apps
seminars
challenges
But ignoring one of the biggest daily drivers of health:
How employees eat.
Here’s the reality:
If your employees don’t know how to cook…
They rely on:
fast food
processed meals
convenience snacks
Which leads to:
energy crashes
poor focus
long-term health costs
This is where we do things differently.
At 1PL8 Health™, we don’t run “wellness programs.” We implement a complete health system.
We teach employees how to:
✔ cook real, balanced meals
✔ stabilize energy throughout the day
✔ build sustainable daily habits
✔ reduce reliance on processed food
And we don’t stop there…
Every employee gets full access to the 1PL8 system FREE for 30 days to actually apply what they learn.
Because here’s the truth:
Awareness doesn’t create ROI, Daily behavior does.
We deliver this through a simple, high-impact format:
Corporate Lunch & Learn sessions (45–60 minutes)
Practical
Engaging
Immediately applicable
If you're an HR leader or decision-maker and your current wellness program isn’t delivering measurable results…
It may not be the budget.
It may be the approach.
We’re currently booking corporate Lunch & Learn sessions
