Unfortunately, I have to agree with this. I've seen it happen. What could very well be a win/win/win situation for companies (less turnover, lower rates), employees (better health, less burnout), and insurers (lower health risk and fewer payouts) ends up being something that removes a lot of (all of?) the benefit for employees, and just benefits the company and insurers.


It's normally changed into a lose/lose/lose situation, but companies and insurers won't realize their lose at the short term, so they pretend they won.

They change an action with the goal of reducing stress into something that creates more stress. And even spend some money doing it (it's just cheaper than the real thing, but still costs). Nobody gains.
