Employer Benefits - Improve employee health and improve your bottom line

 

Statistics show that 83% of employees have a poor diet, 65% are overweight or obese and 67% exercise little or none at all. As a result, you, the employer, are suffering from a number of “indirect” cost increases resulting from low employee productivity and escalating absenteeism that impacts your company’s overall performance.

The bottom line - your bottom line is suffering.

Additionally, unhealthy lifestyles contribute to 90% of diabetes and 80% of heart disease, conditions that contribute to significant escalations in medical expenses. Health care costs are continually on the rise - from 13% to 20% a year – and employers are absorbing that “direct” expense increase. Corporate Wellness Programs also give your staff a healthy work-life balance, which further reduces a significant number of health related issues.

Incorporating a Health & Productivity Management Strategy into your company’s Strategic Plan puts value back into human capital, delivers a measurable return on investment, and ultimately saves lives.

Rising Healthcare costs in black & white:

The total burden of health related costs for employers is both direct and indirect, with a lot of hidden costs included.

Current statistics show the following cost factors hitting Corporate America annually:

47% of costs made up by health insurance premiums;

37% of cost driven by employee turnover and medical disability;

13% of the cost driven by unscheduled absences 

Direct Costs include: Health Insurance Premiums, Workman’s Compensation Claims and Medication Costs.

Indirect Costs include: Absenteeism, lower productivity, higher employee turnover and higher product quality costs driven by less effective employees.

Let’s face it; corporate leaders are continually looking for unique cost reduction and productivity improvement initiatives. Wellness intervention programs can save you up to 30% of the total Burden of Illness as it relates to increased health costs and lost productivity.

Incorporate a “Health & Wellness” Plan that will boost the health of your workforce, increase productivity and improve your overall bottom line.
