Why Health Matters at Work® ?
All companies seek ways to minimize costs and maximize their employee’s productivity. Today…
- Healthcare costs are typically the second or third largest expense in every major company,
- 70% of diseases are preventable,
- 44% of Americans have at least one chronic medical condition, and often have more than three at a time, and
- 1 out of 5 households is involved in care giving to persons aged 18 or over.
The Health Matters at Work® program can enhance your company’s approach to health and wellness. The program is easy to customize and most services are free. For every $1 you save on direct medical costs with your employees, you can save an additional $3 from reduced:
- Absenteeism
- Loss of productivity
- Disability costs
