Worksite Wellness Intro
Have You Considered How the Health of Your Employees is Impacting Your Bottom-Line?
As an employer, you know that employee health (and illness) costs big money. In a 2012 survey of the American workforce**, two-thirds of workers reported significant health issues, including being overweight or obese, having high blood pressure, depression, insomnia, headaches, and back pain. A majority of workers reported:
- No regular exercise
- Poor diet, high in fat, sugar and salt, with minimal fruits or vegetables
- High stress levels leaving them feeling sad, tense, nervous, angry or hostile in the workplace
Businesses that offer worksite wellness program for their employees, targeted disease management and support for lifestyle change, are yielding a $3-$10 return on investment for each dollar invested (National Corporation Group on Health).
Healthy employees…Healthy bottom line!
