WELLNESS PROGRAMS - FOR EMPLOYERS
All successfull employers know that an effective workforce is comprised of happy, healthy, and committed employees. Wellness programs are designed precisely to establish this kind of workforce.
THE PROMISE OF PREVENTION
At every stage of life, preventive health services hold the promise of improving American lives, making them healthier and more productive. The promise of prevention stems directly from evidence that many of the leading causes of disability and premature death in the US are potentially avoidable or controllable, including most injuries, many serious acute and chronic conditions, and many forms of health disease, and some concerns.
WHAT DOES PREVENTION OFFER EMPLOYERS?
Adults with multiple risk factors for disease (high blood pressure, smoking, and sedentary habits ) are more likely to be high-cost employees in terms of healthcare use, absenteeism, disability and overall productivity. On the other hand, healthy employees - and especially those with healthy families, as will - are likely to incur lower medical costs and be more productive.
3 REASONS TO INVEST IN WELLNESS PROGRAMS
#1 Improve Productivity -
Employees are more likely to be on the job and performing well when they are in optimal physical and psychological health.
#2 Lower Healthcare Costs -
It is a fact that medically high-risk employees are medicallly high-cost employees. They both use more healthcare and generate higher claim costs than their low-risk co-workers.
#3 Enhance Your Corporate Image & Long Term Interests by Promoting Health Beyond The Worksite -
Although there is little data to discern the impact of community -wide health promotion activities on business success, there is no disputing that the health of a community is related to the economic vitality of the businesses found there.
