Health and Productivity Management (HPM) has become a primary initiative in corporate culture today. Companies involved in HPM programs see investments in human capital as an opportunity, not as the cost of doing business. Each employee is an asset to that company and corporations are realizing that an investment in their employees is now a bottom line issue.
When combining corporate services such as health and fitness intervention, employee benefits, safety, and disability companies can cut health care costs and change the culture of their corporation for improved productivity.
Employers and business owners are searching for corporate wellness companies who have the track record, scientific knowledge, outcome studies, and medical background to separate themselves from all other corporate wellness programs.
If corporations can stratify their work force, set goals for productivity improvement, initiate a turn-key testing and training program then they can track and calculate their return on investment.
Current efforts to address employee health tend to be highly segmented. Corporate services for benefits, disability, employee assistance, safety and health improvement have been managed separately. When, integrated, a coherent and synergistic framework for employee health supports the full productive potential of employees.
Companies benefit in a number of ways:
· By lowering healthcare costs if self insured
· Lowering health and life insurance premiums
· Maximizing wellness incentives
· Reducing absenteeism and employee turn-over
· Achieving higher operating and administrative productivity
·
Improving employee morale and work-life balance.
Companies can also tap the portion of their insurance premiums “set aside” for qualified Health & Wellness programs to cover all or a portion of the program’s operating costs.
