Company Wellness


Company wellness programs are an investment in the health of your employees and may lower or slow the increase in providing health benefits for your company.

Why should you start a company wellness program? Company wellness programs help control healthcare costs, increase productivity, improve employee morale, enhance the image of your company, reduce the percent of adults with lifestyle health risk factors, and much more.

According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS www.hhs.gov), the cost to employers of obesity-related health problems alone was $13 billion per year in 2003, including $8 billion in medical claims, $2.4 billion in paid sick leave, $1.8 billion in life insurance, and nearly $1 billion in disability insurance. Also, an estimated 39 million workdays are lost to obesity-related illnesses each year.

On average, companies spend around $10,000 per employee per year on health related benefits such as medical benefits, long and short term disability, workmen’s compensation, disease management, absence management, and other employee health benefits. The difference that company wellness makes in the lives of each employee is not only valuable for the health and duration of the employee but also can save up to 40% off of health insurance premiums by changing the status queue. That could mean around $4,000 per employee per year put back into your company’s pocket by adding a company wellness program.

Health care premiums will continue to rise as the demand for care and the cost for care increases. There is no better time than now to save money for your company by reducing the need for care through targeted wellness interventions.
