How Corporate Wellness Can Benefit Your Company
Today, more than two-thirds of American adults are either overweight or obese setting them up for chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and osteoarthritis. This can come at a MAJOR cost.
Corporate Wellness Programs are an effective way for companies to provide access to nutritional services and invest in the health and well-being of their employees. Employees can adopt healthy eating and lifestyle habits and lead a more balanced and productive lifestyle by providing direct access to a qualified Registered Dietitian for nutrition education and counseling. A few benefits of implementing a corporate wellness program are listed below:
Happier and Healthier Employees
Aflac's study found that 70% of employees enrolled in wellness programs reported higher job satisfaction than those not enrolled.
They are healthier, too! According to United Healthcare, 56% of employees participating in wellness programs took fewer sick days, and 62% said it helped them lower their healthcare costs.
Workplace wellness programs are associated with improvements in specific dietary, anthropometric, and cardiometabolic risk indicators.
Improved Productivity
Boosting employee health can boost productivity. A study conducted by Brigham Young University found that people with unhealthy eating habits are 66% more likely to demonstrate poor productivity at work.
Attraction and Retention of Talent
Talented individuals are attracted to companies that prioritize their health. Implementing corporate nutrition programs can be crucial for attracting and retaining top talent. By providing employees with access to health-focused initiatives, companies show a dedication to their well-being. This enhances the organization’s reputation and fosters a healthier and more productive workforce.
