Top reasons why your company needs a Corporate Wellness Program
Decreased Health Care Costs
The implementation of Wellness Programs has proven effective in reducing company health care costs. The concept of a Wellness Program was introduced initially for dual purposes. Rising health costs meant employers were looking for a way to minimize the expense while maintaining healthy human resources. Wellness Programs significantly reduce the high company cost of employee health care.
Work Place Morale
Wellness Programs cover a broad range of healthcare initiatives ranging from nutrition to fitness to behavioral changes. The effectiveness of a Wellness Program in terms of the office environment is simple. Employees are healthy therefore on the whole a lot happier; this equates to maximized performance. They are also aware that the company is taking measures to ensure their health and wellbeing is considered a priority.
Reduced Absenteeism
There are many factors that influence a person’s health and well being. These could be minor infliction such as a cold or flu or major such as heart problems or obesity. Any of these could result in the employee taking time off work. The benefit of a Wellness Program is that this time will be significantly reduced, if not avoided all together. There are many small changes in lifestyle that can influence overall health and wellbeing. A Wellness Program identifies these, educates and implements them. Through education, training and professional health care a Wellness Program can greatly reduce absenteeism. For your company this is the bottom line, reduced absenteeism equals a reduction in costs and an increase in productivity.
Reduced Overall Costs
Employee Wellness Programs have a range of benefits for employers. Both quantifiable figures and intangible results highlight these. For the company as a whole one of the most significant benefits is the reduction in overall company costs. It is hard to quantify what you gain via increased morale, productivity and work performance however the reduced sick leave, absenteeism and lower health costs contribute to a sizable reduction in overall costs.
Increased Productivity
The main aim of a Corporate Wellness Program is to encourage employees to lead healthier lifestyles. This is affected through education, incentives and health care directed by the company and the Wellness Program. It is proven that when an employee is healthy they are more productive. It also ensures you are able to consistently perform at the desired level. Increased productivity in the work place is a by-product of the success of Wellness Programs.
Increased Responsibility
An Employee Wellness Program indicates to employees that the company cares about their well being. While it is common knowledge that these programs benefit employers, the benefits are mutual. A well taken care of employee feels an affiliation with the company; they develop a level of responsibility associated with their work. This type of attitude within the work place is invaluable. An employee that feels like the company takes in interest in their wellbeing and health will take an interest in performing to the best of their ability.
Increased Company Loyalty
Increased employee loyalty is another significant selling point for Employee Wellness Programs. This is one of those intangible benefits that you really can’t put a price on. Company loyalty means reduced costs in terms of recruitment and turnover.
Decreased Health Insurance Costs
Health insurance premiums are rising exponentially every year. The cost is rapidly rising to the point where employers have to find new ways to reduce their health expenses. Wellness Programs have shown incredible returns and remarkable results. Health costs for those companies using Employee Wellness Programs are significantly reduced.
