First, you must decide what Part Of Speech the word �YET� is. Then choose the correct Category.
 
 
So, your first sentence could be re-written: (conjunction)
"BUT, it has been found in some companies that by far the healthiest  people are ..." 
 
And your second sentence: (adverb)
"What is surprising is that, UP TO THIS TIME, we are STILL to develop successful ways of dealing with ..."
 
I hope that this helps you.
