They are all for the "feel good, do good" idea, but they won't invest their precious time, energy and financial resources in it unless it has concrete positive bottom line impact. However, the PHWPConference convinced me that wellness initiatives are at least as healthy financially for the organization as they are physically and mentally for the workers, so I'm optimistic that change is just around the corner. For a summary of the ROI on wellness, see the article: http://positivepsychologynews.com/news/marie-josee-salvas/201003159920.
