Workplace Wellness Programs
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Healthcare cost trends continue to create financial concerns for employer groups with a future that forecasts much of the same – rising costs. These cost increases are driven by a variety of factors, but clearly, employers need to seriously assess strategies to mitigate these trends.
Innovative employer groups that have implemented the
Workplace Rx Wellness Strategy have realized an average of 16% savings in their medical utilization.
For many Employers, kick-starting a full-blown wellness program can be overwhelming. The secret to success is just like healthy eating: Demonstrate portion control and don’t bite off more than you can chew. Starting small and implementing just a few features in the beginning can allow a company to focus on realistic and achievable goals.
Why Wellness?

Healthy employees are at work more often - What does absenteeism cost you?
Unhealthy employees are less productive
Unhealthy employees have more on the job injuries - a direct impact on Workmans Compensation rates
Promoting good health is promoting a strong business
