BENEFITS OF A HEALTH & WELLNESS PROGRAM.
Investing in the health of employees is one of the best decisions a company can make. At least 25 percent of the healthcare costs incurred by working adults are attributed to modifiable health risks such as poor diet and lack of exercise.
Corporations face more and more pressure today than ever before as corporate America struggles to remain profitable. One challenge is the continuing rise of healthcare costs, which attack your most important resource -employees. Creating a culture of wellness is the only way to have healthier employees and ultimately lower healthcare costs.
Studies Show:
•Fitness programs have reduced employer healthcare costs by 20 to 55 percent.
•Preventable illnesses make up 70 percent of illness costs in the United States.
•Reducing a single health risk increases an employee's on the job productivity by 9 percent and reduces absenteeism by 2 percent.
•On average for every dollar the company spends on its worksite wellness program, it receives a net benefit of $3.40 to $7.88.
At worksites with physical activity programs, employers have seen:
•Reduced short-term sick leave by 6 to 32 percent.
•Increased productivity by 2 to 52 percent.
Creating and encouraging this culture of wellness isn't always easy and can't be done alone. This is where Xplore Fitness would like to help. Our experience, program plan and tools are sure to jump-start your workplace's wellness program and get your employees moving!
