The Workplace Wellness Model simulates the behavior of employees working
for an employer that provides a workplace wellness program. The employer’s
program promotes employee exercise. Its goal is to reduce the number of
overweight and obese employees, thereby reducing the incidence of Type 2
diabetes among employees, reducing the employer’s medical expenditures
for diabetes care, reducing the number of days of absenteeism and presenteeism
(staying at work while sick and unproductive), and lengthening the span
of employee careers.
