SKF USA Inc. implemented an integrated wellness program combining biometric screenings and a walking program to improve employee health and reduce rising healthcare costs. Over 80% of employees signed up for the program, which uses pedometers and an online portal to track steps and health goals. Participation remains over 60%, and SKF saw their annual health insurance rate increases drop from 11.3% to just 1.4% after implementing the program. Employees reported feeling healthier, more productive, and more positive about their employer as a result of the wellness initiative. Due to its success, SKF is looking to expand the program to other global entities.
