Corporate America is spending big bucks on various mental (and physical ) wellness programs. I wonder know if it is a fad or if companies are seeing results. Or they are just trying to keep up with the Jones.

Also cost saving, to your point, but from a slightly different angle. (I'm fully supportive of people seeking wellness programs and therapy, but I squint and become cynical when employers offer it themselves, because the long-term alignment of interests isn't always clear)
