Corporate Wellness Programs

Preventable diseases cost businesses thousands of dollars a year. Recent research shows that 35 percent of absenteeism is due to personal illness. This absenteeism costs some corporations an estimated $850,000 per year in direct payroll costs - more when factoring in loss of productivity, morale and temporary costs (CCH Inc. by Harris Interactive, 2006). Another survey projects that the average annual cost per employee for healthcare will exceed $9,300 in 2010 (Towers Perrin, 2008).

Both employers and health insurance providers are looking for ways to decrease these expenditures. They want employees to take greater responsibility for their health by focusing on prevention, especially with high-risk individuals who are overweight or obese. Many methods enable weight loss, but most people regain much or all the weight back. The best way to maintain weight loss is to make easy, sustainable and permanent lifestyle changes.

Across the country, companies are beginning to take notice of the startling connections between employee wellness and fiscal responsibility, and look for better answers. Employee wellness programs not only boost morale, but also make significant, measurable differences in healthcare spending. Studies have shown that employee wellness programs help companies reduce their healthcare costs by as much as $10 for each dollar invested!
