Benefits of an Employee Wellness Program

• Benefit 1- Containment of Health Care Costs
• The majority of health care costs in the United
  States is attributed to the diagnosis and
  treatment of chronic diseases and conditions such
  as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and
  asthma. These conditions are often preventable
  with positive lifestyle changes such as increased
  physical activity and a healthy diet.

3
Benefits

• Benefit 2- Increased Workplace Productivity
• Workers who exercise regularly tend to have more
  energy and are more productive while at work. As
  little as 30 minutes of physical activity most
  days of the week can have significant physical
  and mental benefits for workers.

4
Benefits

• Benefit 3- Increased Workplace Morale
• Along with increased productivity, the increase
  in energy level that comes from active healthy
  employees also results in improved morale and a
  new level of energy within your organization.

5
Benefits

• Benefit 4- Decreased Employee Turnover
• Health promotion programs are seen as an
  additional perk to employees, making them feel
  valued and appreciated by their employers. These
  employees are less likely to seek other
  employment, decreasing the time, energy and money
  associated with recruiting, hiring and training
  new employees.

6
Benefits

• Benefit 5- Decreased Absenteeism
• When an employee misses work due to illness,
  other employees take on the burden of those
  responsibilities, often creating a tense
  environment. Employees suffering from chronic
  obesity related conditions are likely to miss
  work more often than healthy employees.

7
Benefits

• Benefit 6- Increased Recruitment Potential
• In the midst of a tight labor market, businesses
  are forced to pull out the stops in order to
  recruit new talent. In some instances, health
  promotion can prove to be a very valuable tool in
  sealing the deal.
