Corporate Wellness Programs
According to T. Boone Pickens, Chairman of Mesa Petroleum, “Fit employees are more productive, more creative and more competitive… Physical fitness is an essential part of the best-run companies.” Simply put, positive and productive employees result in more satisfied customers, and more satisfied customers result in a more profitable business.
Companies are increasingly implementing corporate wellness and fitness programs into their employee benefits packages in order to improve employee productivity and increase their bottom line.
Recent health studies show that 86% of companies with more than 50 employees have some form of wellness program, and companies who have implemented these programs are experiencing major benefits from lower health care costs and reduced absenteeism, to greater productivity and morale and a positive return on investment.
Many companies are reporting decreases in sick leave, hospital admissions, disability days and workers’ compensation costs as a result of their corporate wellness programs.
Employee wellness programs can vary in scope and cost. You may choose anything from a health and fitness newsletter to a complete program that includes an employee gym, health screenings and a full-time staff dedicated to employee wellness.
As the costs of employee benefits continue to increase, it is rare to find ways to offset these expenses. However, implementing a corporate wellness program has proven to be one such opportunity. No matter how large or small your company is, you can’t afford not to consider implementing some form of employee wellness program. Learn More
