Employee Wellness

Why Wellness?

• Increase Employee Attendance

• Increase Productivity

• Retain Staff

• Reduce Medical Cost

• Improve Health and Well-Being

• Reduce Risk

• Prevent Disease

Chronic disease is the leading cause of direct health care costs. Researchers estimate 75 percent of all health care costs stem directly from preventable chronic health conditions. Yet only 1 percent of the $1.9 trillion dollars spent on health care in the United States goes to protecting health and preventing illness and injury.

Our Be Well Program works to change this by emphasizing prevention, early detection, treatment and employee incentives.

National Facts

• Annual healthcare spending has increased from $75 billion in 1970 to $2 trillion creating a critical issue for individuals and corporations

• Chronic illness such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity account for 75 percent of health costs

• Recent study of Fortune 500 CEOs indicates that concerns about employee health and the resulting impact on costs and productivity far outweigh concerns about litigation, labor, materials, energy, and pension costs

• Employee health care cost is the #1 concern over day-to-day business challenges
