Benefits of a Corporate Wellness Program
Containment of Health Care Costs
The majority of health care costs in the United States are attributed to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases and conditions such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and asthma. These conditions are often preventable with positive lifestyle changes, such as increased physical activity and a healthy diet.
Increased Workplace Productivity
Workers who exercise regularly tend to have more energy and are more productive while at work. As little as 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week can have significant physical and mental benefits for workers.
Increased Workplace Morale
Along with increased productivity, the increase in energy level that comes from active, healthy employees also results in improved morale and a new level of energy within your organization.
Increased Recruitment Potential/Decreased Employee Turnover
In the midst of a tight labor market, businesses are forced to pull out the stops in order to recruit new talent. In some instances, health promotion can prove to be a very valuable tool in sealing the deal. Health promotion programs are seen as an additional perk to employees, making them feel valued and appreciated by their employers. These employees are less likely to seek employment elsewhere, decreasing the time, energy and money associated with recruiting, hiring and training new employees.
Decreased Absenteeism/Reduced Injuries
When an employee misses work due to illness, other employees take on the burden of those responsibilities, often creating a strained environment. Employees suffering from chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other obesity-related illnesses are likely to miss work more often than healthy employees. These same conditions can be controlled, and often prevented, by positive lifestyle changes such as physical activity. Healthy employees are at a lower risk for injury than those who are unhealthy with multiple risk factors
