Wellness in the Workplace

Has your company considered the facts when it comes to wellness in the workplace?

· 65% of U.S. adults are overweight or obese.

· This health crisis costs our nation an estimated $117 billion.

· U.S. health care costs were $2.2 trillion in 2008, with companies paying on average $9,312 per employee.

· Wellness programs are the key to a demand management approach – instead of running after the problem, let’s focus on lifestyle changes, because 87.5% of health care claims are due to lifestyles!
