Have You Heard The Old Expression
"An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away"
Employers have been hit hard by the soaring costs of providing employees with health care benefits. Wellness programs may be the only benefits which pays money back. When more people come to work, employers don't need to pay overtime or provide temporary help; when employees stay at the job longer, training costs go down; and lower health care claims cost the self insured employer less. In study after study tangible benefits inclusive of improved productivity, reduced absenteeism, reduced use of health benefits, reduced worker's compensation, reduced injury's and lower turnover result. It is well documented in the literature that for every dollar spent on employee wellness, companies realize $4.00 in return. In the past decade, hundreds of companies worldwide have implemented health and wellness programs for their employees for these very reasons. |
