Employee wellness programs have gained a significant notice over the past decade as companies evaluate various methods to reducing costs and improving productivity. All companies are at their core the collection of individuals who form the basis for getting the company’s work done. With that in mind, any corporate program that can lower health care costs and improve productivity can have a profound effect on the company’s bottom line. Wellness programs are designed to have just these types of effects on the workforce and company.
Our wellness programs are targeted at producing cultural change within the company’s workforce. It is through a profound cultural shift that our campaigns teach people and provide the tools for them to become healthier and happier individuals. This in turn brings them to work a higher percentage of time – less time feeling sick, less time feeling too stressed (usually reported as sick). When people are happier at work they are absent less often and do better work when they are in the office. This clearly contributes to the bottom line.
Not only does a wellness program directly affect the quantity and quality of the employees work it also tends to keep them at their job, lowering the employee turnover at the company. For many companies turnover is a significant hidden cost that tremendously impacts productivity as workers with experience are replaced with inexperienced workers who then take time to train, not only making them unproductive, but at the same time lowering the productivity of experienced employees.
Many think of wellness programs as mostly focused around health and fitness, while these are certainly important, stress reduction / alleviation is perhaps the single most effective and important part of our Corporate Wellness Programs. Stress reduction programs are multi-faceted and deal with both individual needs as well as institutional challenges.
Our wellness programs can typically produce a 100-200% return on investment within the first 24 months and higher ROIs over time as long-term benefits of the program are realized.
