Why choose Wellness?

Why should your business consider adding a Wellness Program? Here are our reasons: reduced healthcare expenses, employee satisfaction, and reduction in absenteeism.

The U.S. healthcare system is transitioning from “fixing” people when they’re sick to preventative health and diagnostic treatments.

With healthcare costs escalating and coverage changing regularly, businesses are more interested in helping their employees stay well, be more productive, and miss fewer days due to illness.

A wellness program focuses on healthy eating habits, active lifestyles, stress management, and a healthy workplace.

Wellness programs are effective. Check out these statistics from “The Wellness Movement”, an Aflac Workforces Report. In a review of 42 published studies of worksite wellness programs, the following was noted:

  1. Participants had an average of 28% reduction in sick days.
  2. Participants reduced their health costs by an average of 26%.
  3. There was an average of 30% reduction in workers’ comp and disability claims.
  4. There was an average $5.93 to $1.00 savings to cost ratio.
  5. 92% of companies agree a wellness program is effective.

More than an ROI, wellness programs influence employee satisfaction. Workers who participate feel significantly more satisfied with their job, feel positive about their employer and consider their well-being better protected.
