  • Improve the Bottom Line by Improving Employee Health

    Healthcare costs have never been higher and there is no end in sight. Almost half of CEO’s say that their biggest threat to profitability is the rising cost of employee healthcare. Most healthcare costs are caused by preventable chronic diseases. Employees with poor health behaviors develop health risks and eventually acquire common chronic diseases. By implementing health and productivity management programs employers are getting to the root of the healthcare cost problem. Learn how healthcare costs will only increase in the future. Understand what employee health and productivity programs are and how they work. See how they can reduce employee health risks, health care costs, worker’s compensation, and improve productivity. 32 different published articles show that these programs can improve the bottom line. For every dollar spent on employee health programs, $3.5 were saved from lower healthcare costs.

  • 10-20 Years of Extra Life − The Choice is Yours

    Americans have more body fat and diabetes now, than at any other time in human history. Tobacco use, poor diet, and lack of physical activity are responsible for most chronic diseases and premature death. Unhealthy behaviors lead to elevated health risks. Elevated health risks lead to chronic diseases, health care costs and premature death. Unhealthy behaviors are at the very core of America’s poor health. Yet, adopting and maintaining healthy behaviors is hard to do. We live in an environment that discourages healthy living. Food manufacturers aggressively market unhealthy foods and we now have few opportunities to get physical activity. This means that most Americans have elevated health risks and most Americans will die of largely preventable chronic diseases. The solution is to change the status quo. A healthy diet and regular physical activity can dramatically improve our health. The most current scientific research shows that those who adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyles can extend life by 10-20 years…10-20 years of high quality life. The amount of scientific evidence that supports the need for healthy behaviors is overwhelming, yet we struggle to change our behaviors. Worksites, communities, schools, and even churches are helping individuals change the status quo by adopting healthy behaviors. In as little as 6 weeks, individuals who adopt healthy behaviors can significantly improve an array of health risks. We have the solution to poor health.

  • The Truth About Return on Investment and Worksite Health Promotion Programs

    Companies are always looking for ways to reduce employee-related expenses and many corporations and organizations are using health promotion programs as a reactionary effort to curtail ever-increasing, employee-related expenses of health care and lost productivity. Dozens of published scientific research articles have evaluated the cost-benefit of worksite health promotion programs and the majority show a clear and positive return-on-investment. Yet, many companies are hesitant to spend any money on employee health promotion efforts, raising the question as to why most health and wellness programs still struggle to get funding and support? Health promotion in the workplace can not only have a positive effect on your employees’ waistlines, but also a positive impact on your organization’s bottom line. During this in-depth session, learn how new information gained by researchers at Brigham and Young University provides additional evidence on why companies and public sector organizations should adopt worksite wellness programs to help their employees lead healthy lifestyles and how, by doing so, they can achieve and demonstrate a genuine return-on-investment (ROI).
