Health and Wellness for a Safer Workforce

Companies around the world are investing in wellness programs for a variety of reasons including health risk reduction, health care cost containment, and overall improved employee health, which can impact morale as well as reduce turnover and accident rates. Human performance is higher when people are physically and emotionally able to work and have the desire to work. Higher levels of productivity are a direct result of higher levels of human performance, which can lead to higher returns.

When companies have robust corporate wellness programs in place, they see results.  Companies with wellness programs report seeing the following:

66%
of companies report performing better than their top competitors
40%
increase in industry adjusted average revenues per employee
$1,000+
differential in annual health care costs per employee in the U.S.
30%
in benefit savings due to fewer lost days due to unplanned absences and disability, alongside savings on health care costs
