Inhaltsangabe

Health care costs continue to rise and we all pay the price for individuals who are sedentary and make lifestyle choices that predispose them to "lifestyle diseases" such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. American employers lose more than $300 billion in productivity annually due to illness, absenteeism, and sub-par performance (sometimes known as “presenteeism”). Nationwide, more than 2.5 billion work days are reduced or lost completely every year. Meanwhile, a New York marketing firm reported in 2017 that people who drove 4 miles or less to the gym went 5 times or more per month, while those who commuted five or more went, on average, once in a month.This means that proximity has a dramatic effect on an individual’s exercise participation and a workplace wellness program facilitates a workplace wellness culture. Dr. Steve Aldana, CEO of Wellsteps and one the foremost experts on the effective implementation of corporate wellness programs, has published and presented more than 75 papers on the subject. In a recent article, he presented this summary:“Among the 22 different studies that looked at wellness programs and health care costs, the average return on investment was 3.27. This means that for every dollar that was spent on the program the company saved $3.27 because of reduced health care costs.”He goes on to say, “Anyone who still thinks wellness programs don’t improve health is choosing to completely ignore hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific research papers that say otherwise.” Despite the misunderstandings surrounding corporate wellness, it works.
