Wellness shouldn’t be a box to check. It should be a real, tangible part of the employee experience—something people actually use and benefit from. And if our latest LinkedIn poll is any indication, employees are ready for something better.
We asked a simple question:
"Be honest: If your employer offered a full wellness platform with fitness, mental health, and nutrition tools, would you actually use it?"
The response was louder than we expected—and more telling.
-
64% said “Yes, definitely”
-
30% said “I’d try it out”
-
5% said “Depends on the quality”
-
Only 2% said “Probably not”
That’s right—94% of respondents said they would either definitely use or try a wellness platform if their employer offered one. In a world where benefit utilization often struggles to hit double digits, these results are powerful. They don’t just show interest—they show demand.

So Why Aren’t More People Using Their Wellness Benefits?
Here’s the catch: employees want wellness solutions, but too often what they get feels like just another corporate initiative—impersonal, outdated, hard to access, or simply irrelevant to their real needs.
We’ve all seen it before: the dusty portal buried somewhere on the intranet, offering generic articles or one-off webinars. It’s no wonder engagement is low. Employees don’t want check-the-box. They want real support. They want resources that meet them where they are—whether that’s squeezing in a 10-minute workout between meetings, getting expert nutrition advice, or finding mental health support that fits into their day without judgment or hassle.
The Future of Wellness Is Holistic, Digital, and Human
At FitOn Health, we’re building what employees actually want: a preventive care platform that’s rooted in real behavior change, expert guidance, and flexibility.
From fitness and meditation classes led by world-class trainers to personalized nutrition plans and mental health tools, we’ve created a unified experience that makes wellness a part of the everyday routine—not a once-a-year health fair.
We believe wellness should feel personal, accessible, and—dare we say—enjoyable.
And based on what employees told us in the poll, here’s what that looks like:
1. Fitness on their terms
Employees want to move—but not everyone’s hitting the gym at 6am. With on-demand workouts for every level, goal, and schedule, FitOn Health makes it easy to get moving, even from a desk or living room floor.
2. Health tools that go beyond crisis care
Support shouldn’t start when someone’s already burned out. Our platform includes chronic condition management, mindfulness exercises, stress management techniques, and expert-led meditations that empower employees to care for their health proactively.
3. Nutrition guidance that fits real life
From meal planning to grocery lists to healthy recipe inspiration, our nutrition tools make healthy eating approachable—not overwhelming.
4. A platform people actually want to use
Let’s be honest: engagement doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you offer something that feels modern, relevant, and thoughtfully designed. That’s what we do best.

Why This Matters Now
More than ever, employee expectations around wellness are evolving. Post-pandemic, people are reevaluating what matters—and benefits that support holistic health are no longer seen as “nice-to-haves.” They’re essentials. They impact everything from productivity and morale to retention and long-term health costs.
So if your wellness program still looks like it did in 2015, it’s time to rethink.
The poll was clear: people are ready. They’re not just open to wellness—they’re craving it. But only if it’s done right.
