Wellness Programs & Employers

All successful 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.

 


OUR COMMITMENT AND 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 DO OUR WELLNESS PREVENTION PROGRAMS 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) Top Reasons Your Company Will Benefit From Our Wellness Program

 

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 medically high-cost employees.  They both use more healthcare and generate higher claim costs than their low-risk co-workers

3) Increased Responsibility An Employee Wellness Program indicates to employees that the company cares about their employees' well-being. While it is common knowledge that these programs benefit employers, the benefits are mutual. A well taken care of employee will naturally feel a closer affiliation with the company, they will develop a level of responsibility associated with their work. This type of attitude within the workplace is invaluable. An employee that feels like the company takes an interest in their well-being and health will take an interest in performing to the best of their ability.

 

Benefits Summary... The benefits for employers are obvious. They provide the company with strategic advantages by investing money in a program that will bring them lowered expenses in return, often in the form of better performing workers, and lower absenteeism and health care cost. Employees are the most valuable assets to any company. By providing workers these services, companies are improving well-being and job satisfaction, as well as raising retention rates. The welfare of employees has a direct impact on the success of the company.
