Health screenings are among the best-attended wellness programs, according to the results of a survey conducted by Wellness Program Management Advisor newsletter and WellnessJunction.com.

Twenty-eight percent of the respondents said health screenings attracted the most employee participation at their place of business, the survey found.

Several respondents said the health screening programs, for concerns such as breast cancer, high cholesterol, and diabetes, attracted more than 70 percent of the respective employee populations.

Relaxation and stress management programs also ranked high among employee participants, the study discovered; approximately 15 percent of the respondents said programs of this nature were among the best-attended offered by their wellness departments.

Although massage therapy, yoga, tai chi and other relaxation exercise programs also were included in the general fitness category by many respondents, others listed them as part of stress management program efforts, according to the statistics.

Individual counseling sessions that focused on personal issues; general assessment programs; parenting classes; health risk assessments (general); programs on alternative medicine and holistic approaches; eye surgery options; and immunization clinics were listed as well-attended programs by approximately 13 percent of the respondents.
