Workplace Health and Wellness
Employee health and wellness is great for business! Businesses that promote wellness, educate in reducing risk factors that help in the prevention of illness see increased employee engagement and productivity. It is a key investment in your organization’s employee benefit plan. Insurance providers offer products and services to help companies develop the right program focused on the top needs.
Wellness programs foster a strong culture of organizational health. Some wellness programs include certified workplace wellness professionals specialized with expertise in nutrition, fitness, and human resources. These programs are a component of your overall benefit plan – keeping employees healthy and well!
Why Workplace Health and Wellness Programs are Important
Wellness programs save about 1.5 to 1.7 days in absenteeism per worker over 12 months, or an estimated $251 per employee per year in savings. (Source: Sun Life-Ivey Canadian Wellness Return on Investment (ROI) Study, Phase 1.)
More than 50% the employees surveyed in a Sanofi Aventis healthcare survey said they would choose their benefit plan over an additional cash compensation of $15,000 per year. (Source: Sanofi-Aventis Healthcare Survey, 2009)
