The proven path to increased productivity, improved employee engagement and decreased healthcare costs.
Chronic diseases cost US employers $1.1 trillion a year in lost productivity, according to the Milken Institute, an economic think tank. Harvard researchers who reviewed 36 studies of corporate wellness programs found that for every dollar large employers spent on wellness programs, they saw company medical costs fall about $3.27. And, beyond that, the study found a big payoff in productivity: For every dollar spent on wellness programs, the companies’ absenteeism-related costs fell about $2.73.
Here are a few facts:
- Employees with an unhealthy diet were 66% more likely to report having a loss in productivity as opposed to healthy eaters.
- CBS Money Watch cited recent research showing employee health and wellness programs nationwide save $1.9 trillion in health care costs per year.
- A Harvard Business Review study of corporate wellness programs found that companies (including Citi Group) saved as much as $6 in health care for every $1 invested in corporate wellness.
- 77% of employees surveyed responded that “health and wellness programs positively impact the culture at work.”
- General Mills reported a 19% reduction in absenteeism with its wellness education program.Corporate Wellness Solutions
