As a company, you are considering whether or not to institute some kind of corporate wellness program. The question becomes why your employees need one, and how they (and your business) will suffer without one.
Today?s population is generally not a healthy one. Obesity, heart disease, diabetes, asthma and a host of other health problems run rampant in our society. As an employer, this effects your bottom line in quite a few ways:
- cost of health care premiums for your employees
- injuries in the workplace
- reduced productivity
- and lost days of work just to name a few
Instituting a wellness program in the workplace can help defray these costs in a major way, and it will make your employees healthier and happier. Without a corporate wellness program, here are some of the ways that they will continue to suffer:
Without a program of some sort, they will continue to miss work at an average of three to five days more than those who have one. Obesity alone will cost them over 30% more on health services and over 70% more on medications than those who are a healthy weight. Stress and depression cost $200-$300 billion annually in lost time and productivity, some of that cost is actual dollars lost to the employee in unpaid leave.

Programs like free health screenings find things like breast, colon and other cancers early when they are highly treatable. Lack of exercise and healthy diets also contributes to high cholesterol and higher incidence of heart attacks and to a higher incidence of diabetes which can lead to loss of vision and limbs.
What if your employees pay their own health insurance premiums, or a portion of them? Those who are unhealthy pay higher premiums, and those who are healthy have higher premiums just by being on the same group policy, seriously affecting their budgets.
