In many companies, health costs use up 50 percent or more of their corporate profits. In fact, the indirect costs of poor health, such as an absence from work and reduced work productivity, can result in two or three times the amount of direct medical costs. 28 percent of workers said they would feel more satisfied and more loyal to their employer if their company offered more options to improve their health and lifestyle. Workers also recognise the fact that they need to take an active role in workplace wellness. 35 percent of employees were willing to change their lifestyle habits if it meant they could lower their health insurance premiums.

 

Corporate Wellness programs are largely successful because they are beneficial for both the employee and the company. Spending time to reduce organizational costs through prevention, recognition, and assistance is a worth while investment and one that few organizations regret.
