What is Your Wellness Factor/Quotient?

With an average return of between $2 to $4 for every $1 spent among employers who have implemented a wellness program, it’s no surprise that over 80% of companies with 50+ employees have wellness programs. Today’s high achieving workforce expects their efforts to be supported by management. Don’t let your competitors lure talent away from your organization. Are you doing everything possible to keep your human capital happy, healthy, productive and loyal?

Workplace wellness creates a win-win situation: employees benefit from a healthier lifestyle and lower insurance premiums, while employers reduce costs through higher productivity, less employee turnover, and lower absenteeism. Nearly 50% of workers surveyed agree that wellness benefits encourage them to work harder and that wellness offerings encourage them to stay in their current employment.

Employee health and fitness increases your company’s bottom-line returns. Over $130 billion a year in health care costs are related to overweight and inactivity. The statistics are staggering: 80% of all illness is preventable; at least 50% of diabetes associated with obesity can be prevented with diet alone; and, over 50% of people between the ages of 40 and 60 in the United States suffer from Metabolic Syndrome. Simple workplace changes can dramatically reduce this costly trend. Don’t be left behind. Workplace wellness works.
