60% of Employees Use Technology to Manage Health

Sixty-percent of employees use technology to manage their health. Forty-one percent use wearables to monitor fitness activity, and 30 percent use technology to track eating habits.

“Online tools are critical in helping employees of all ages make decisions about health care choices in a complex market,” said Cara McNulty, a senior healthcare consultant at Willis Towers Watson.

“The real change, however, will come from point solutions that connect with individuals. Technology can be key to integrate these programs that link multiple areas of an employee’s life and help to create a consumer-grade experience that is critical to attracting employees and sustaining employee engagement.”

Employees are extremely receptive to on-site wellness, the team found.
