1. Begin a culture of healthy living
The corporate wellness programs that WCS teaches are designed to begin a culture of healthy living. If you can begin to get all of your employees to eat healthier and exercise on a regular basis, they will not become sick as often. This means that they will not be going to the the doctor's office for medical care. This will lower the amount of money you will need to pay for employee healthcare. Not surprisingly, one of the biggest expenses for companies annually is healthcare for their employees. This is why you should do everything you can to make your employees healthier.2. Increase profitability
If employees are not constantly sick, it stands to reason that your healthcare expenses will begin to fall dramatically. As the owner of a business, this will put more money in your pocket.3. Increase employee morale
Companies that have already started using corporate wellness programs have reported some interesting results. They have found that employee morale has risen since the start of the program. This has proven that when employees are feeling healthy, they have a better attitude. This means less fights between employees and a better overall working environment.4. Productivity is increased
If your employees are healthy and feeling their best, their productivity will be at peak efficiency. The amount of work they are able to do during their shift will be outstanding, allowing your bottom line to benefit from this.Image courtesy of Ambro portfolio at FreeDigitalPhotos.net

I wish my husband's workplace offered something for their overall wellness. The upper management gets a little break for workouts if they like or have time, but it's not often. The rest don't get anything.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see something like this where I work. Wellness is a big deal and when you are looking at rising insurance costs, this is one program that can help.
ReplyDeleteI think if only half the workers that I work with were doing a wellness thing it would increase productivity for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhere my mom works they offer this type of thing. It is great for the employees and even better for the bottom line at the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to get my employer to bite on something like this. I have been giving him the same tips and points that you make here, but it seems they do not think they can manage anything like this.
ReplyDeleteExcelent Article .The company I work for has never given importance to the health of their workers, this article makes me realize that better health means better performance and a better life. I should start changing my life by my own!
ReplyDeleteThe company I work for has an exercise plan, since it was implemented has significantly improved our productivity. I hope see more companies doing it on the future.
ReplyDeleteAn exercise plan in my company might be a good idea to improve profitability, I really find it an interesting article, I think you should try it.
