Abstract
Although interest in corporate wellness continues to increase in workplaces in various countries, many businesses still consider employee wellness as unrelated to the organization and its functions. Some continue to view wellness as having little or no financial impact on an organization and, therefore, not part of the overall organizational system. This paper argues that wellness programming should be analyzed as both a freestanding system and also a subsystem of the overall business. By viewing it through the general systems theoretical lens, the wellness system can find its place and be ultimately seen as integral within the overall organizational system.
