Wellness Day at VirtualOffiCenters – Because a Healthy YOU Creates a Healthy Business

Published On: February 17, 2014|Categories: Blog|

OffiCenter Wellness DayIn the last decade there has been a rapid increase in the number of worksite wellness programs among businesses. Today approximately 55% of Minnesota employers with 100 employees or more now offer some sort of program that falls into this category. While we all know that health is important, some may wonder why companies are so readily implementing these programs. The fact is simple – A healthy YOU can create a healthy business.

Below are a few ways that this is true:

  • Reduces overall healthcare costs and claims. Research has shown that for every $1 invested in worksite wellness there is up to a $3 return. Knowing that, it seems rather obvious that Governor Dayton would announce that 2014 would be Minnesota’s, Year of Worksite Wellness.
  • Increases productivity. The bottom line is, healthier employees are more productive. This has been proven time and time again in a number of different work settings.
  • Reduces absenteeism and improves the ability for workers to return after illness. Healthier employees miss less work and are more likely to be ill less often. The cost savings of not having to pay for employees to work overtime for absent coworkers can really add up!
  • Stress Management Stress, whether related to work or personal, can be a huge detriment to productivity. Helping employees manage their stress again can help the bottom line.
  • Improves employee morale. A company that cares about its employees’ health is often times seen as a better place to work and it is often times safe to say that an employee that likes working for their company is going to be a more productive employee than one that doesn’t.
