Why Worksite Health Promotion?
 
The workplace is an ideal setting for health promotion and disease prevention programs because:
  • 70% of disease in the US is directly related to lifestyle choices such as poor nutrition, lack of physical activity and tobacco use.
  • The cost of health care is one of the top expenses for US businesses and it is often the employer who pays the price for unhealthy behaviors.
  • Since Americans spend a substantial amount of time at work, it is an ideal place to educate individuals about lifestyle choices and behavior change.
A comprehensive worksite health promotion program contributes to:
  • Improved company morale
  • Improved health status
  • Reduced absenteeism
  • Effective management of healthcare costs
A Worthwhile Investment

Worksite based wellness programs are an effective tool to lower healthcare costs and create a healthier, more productive workforce. Research shows for every dollar spent on a comprehensive worksite health promotion program an employer can expect a $2-5 return on investment.
