There are tangible benefits associated with work site wellness programs.  They include:

Increased Productivity: The key to productivity is energy.  People who are healthy and high-energy are 40% more productive than unhealthy people.

Stimulate Creative Thinking: Healthy people are able to focus on projects and have increased neurotransmitter capacity.  This stimulates energies and gets the creative “juices” flowing.

Improved Morale: As the organizational culture begins to change as a result of your health promotion efforts, you and your employees may actually begin to see and feel a new level of energy within the organization.  Ultimately, one of the most ambitious goals of any comprehensive health promotion program is to attempt to influence the attitudes and actions of the organization’s most valuable resource – its employees.

Reduced Turnover: Employee replacement costs can be quite high for any kind of business.  The effort and expense associated with running employment ads, reading applications, checking references, interviewing qualified candidates and hiring, and training a new employee can be high.  Many businesses are looking to health promotion programs as an additional perk that can strengthen your recruitment and retention efforts.

Improved Professional Image: 80% of communication is non-verbal.  With an energized and healthy team, your customer service and sales staff will feel better about themselves and be more effective.

Reduced Absenteeism: When an employee misses work in a business setting, the entire organization is forced to absorb their responsibilities.  Even in the event of the occasional absence caused by things like colds and flu, work can back-up and tensions can build.  Even worse is a long-term absence caused by a major health event that requires hospitalization and / or rehabilitation.  By preventing certain types of illness caused by poor lifestyle habits, health promotion programs can play an important role in reducing absenteeism.

Lower Health Care and Workers’ Compensation Costs: Healthier employees make fewer health care claims.

Improved Employee Health: One of the greatest advantages of a well-designed health promotion initiative is the promise of improved health.  While not conclusive, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that well-designed health promotion initiatives can successfully impact such behaviors as smoking, high-risk alcohol use, exercise, nutritional habits, and stress.

Increased Profit: The health and happiness of your employees has a direct impact on your company’s financial health.  The bottom line is that you and your organization will make more money.
