Corporate Wellness
Why Wellness At Work?
With the prevalence of chronic disease in the U.S. population, employers are feeling the impact of health care costs and lost productivity due to absenteeism, disability and presenteeism (being sick at work). Many conditions that affect a company’s workforce are preventable and can be improved with regular physical activity.
Most working adults spend a substantial portion of their week in the workplace. On days they work, American are on the job an average of 7.56 hours, or about one-half of their waking hours.
This makes the workplace a useful and practical setting for introducing health and wellness-related initiatives that will benefit employees and their families, as well as employers.
