An employee wellness program is a set of activities, facilities, and communications designed to change health-related behaviors in ways that reduce health risks and medical costs. These programs often aim to address specific health risks, such as those mentioned in the scenario (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, and obesity). Therefore, Connor has introduced an employee wellness program. The other options (B, C, D, and E) are not appropriate because they refer to different types of healthcare plans, rather than a wellness program.
