Benefits of a workplace welness program
A U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report1 revealed that at worksites with exercise programs as components of their wellness programs, healthcare costs decreased from 75 to 55%, short-term sick leave was lowered from 38 to 32%, and productivity increased from 50 to 52%.
Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who studied successful strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease estimated that over a 2-5 year period, companies with comprehensive workplace wellness programs and appropriate health plans in place can yield $3 to $6 for each dollar invested, all while reducing the likelihood of employee heart attacks and strokes.2
Additionally, worksite health programs can improve productivity, increase employee satisfaction, demonstrate concern for employees, and improve morale in the workplace.31. https://aspe.hhs.gov/health/prevention/ 2.

EMPLOYEE HEALTH
Focusing employee health efforts on primary prevention and risk avoidance will keep the majority of your workforce (and their dependents) low risk and healthy. Many health risks are modifiable through Wellness Programs. Risk is not static… without preventative programs, even your low-risk employees can migrate to high-risk within one year.
