CORPORATE WELLNESS
According to the CDC corporate workplace model:
“For organizations, workplace health programs have the potential to impact areas such as health care costs, absenteeism, productivity, recruitment/retention, culture and employee morale.”
Cost is not an issue. We individualize a program according to YOUR budget. No budget? No problem! A small payroll deduction is a popular option.
ROI for Employee Wellness Programs
In a study done on the ROI of employee wellness programs, Harvard researchers conclude that, on average, for every dollar spent on employee wellness, medical costs fall $3.27 and absenteeism drops $2.73. This is a 6-to-1 return on investment.
Early in my career, I founded Weigh to Health Inc. a nutritional consulting firm to help companies lower their health care costs and increase employee retention. My “lunch and learn” workshops along with group challenges and competitions helped employees manage and prevent disease with my proprietary corporate nutrition program. Employees were excited and engaged in collective weight loss missions and challenges that I facilitated on a weekly basis. Companies quickly realized their return on investment (ROI) WAS SIGNIFICANT as their healthcare costs decreased. Additionally, they saw an increase in engagement and retention as employees became active participants in their own health and awareness that their company cared about them. In other words, employees felt better, so they performed better. A healthy workspace is always a more productive one!
These programs and services have now pivoted to a virtual platform.
Enjoy informative and fun Zoom “lunch and learns”, “quick break yoga” for a mental recharge, and exercise classes that engage your employees with competitions and incentives.
