Wellness entrepreneur, former Fortune 500 executive and MN2S PR client Stevi Gable Carr has released a 2025 report positioning workplace well-being as a strategic business imperative.
Published through WISe Wellness Guild—Carr’s national network of experts and innovators—the report highlights how leading companies are linking employee wellness directly to business performance. With data showing a $3.27 return in reduced healthcare costs for every dollar invested, and a 20% boost in productivity among companies with wellness programs, the message is clear: well-being is no longer optional.
The report also reveals that 86% of brokers expect clients to increase mental health investment this year, while 59% of employees report feeling stressed most of the time at work. Financial stress and toxic workplace culture are also flagged as urgent issues, with employee expectations shifting dramatically in favor of flexible work, mental health support, and financial wellness initiatives.
Check out the full report.
Carr, featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, and NBC, calls for wellness to be a leadership priority, not just an HR concern. With over 20 years’ experience building consumer and healthcare brands – including at Procter & Gamble – Carr is now founder and CEO of WISe Wellness Guild, a platform catalyzing peak performance through whole-self well-being. “Companies can no longer afford to treat wellness as a perk. It’s a performance driver,” she states. The report outlines actionable strategies for tackling burnout and improving retention, and urges brands to adopt a data-driven approach to wellness investments. For companies seeking to thrive in 2025 and beyond, The ROI of Wellness offers a compelling, evidence-based blueprint.
