CORPORATE WELLNESS

 

With rising health care costs it is important to keep your employeees healthy. Poor health impacts workplace productivity and effectivity.

 

The total cost of obesity in the U.S. is $13 billion per year. Sixty percent of U.S. adults are overweight or obese. Overweight or obese employees are more likely to develop a variety of health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease and cancer. As a result these employees spend 36% more on health care and spend 77% more on medications. 

 

Year-round comprehensive corporate wellness programs have shown savings-to-cost ratios of greater than $3 saved for each $1 invested. Documented savings are observed in medical costs, absenteeism, worker’s compensation costs, short-term disability, and increased productivity.

Wellness programs are an investment in your most valuable assets, your employees. Corporate wellness programs reduce health care cost, reduce employee stress, increase employee job satisfaction, increase employee morale, and aid in employee recruitment and retention.

 

We believe your organization must take responsibiity and accountability for your own wellness program. You should not sit on the side line and watch someone else run your wellness program.

 

You should recruit an energetic team of health / fitness coordinators from within your organization to lead your program. We coach your team and provide them with the skills and understanding to successfully execute your program.
