Our economy is hard to manage these days. Massive lay off was made by several industries causing unemployment to increase. As long as the economy is not yet stable, we need to hold-on and be more efficient and productive.
Other companies still recognized the welfare of there employees despite of the current economic status. We should commend the five organizations for taking it seriously.

I feel that employers are trying to promote employee wellbeing as it more beneficial for them to keep the employees they already have rather than training new ones.

In this tough economic time I think every company should be applauded for their willingness to not only care about the bottom line but about their employees as well. When the employees are taken care of they can feel more secure with themselves and thus be more productive. Seems like a win-win situation to me. Every employer should go the second mile to insure a happy health workplace.

It's definitely a very important issue right now. Unfortunately, some places just can't see the big picture. For instance, job places that work on a point-based system for time off, sick time, or anything.

"...promote employee health and well-being while enhancing organizational performance...." this is very true because nothing can beat contentment in spite the low wage. Being loved by the employers weigh more.

That is wonderful what they are doing. Too many companies still don't believe it's worth it or they can afford to invest into their employees health. In fact, many will pretty much require you to even come into work when you're sick (even with H1N1 going around)!
