Why Wellness

Products and Services | Why Wellness

The cost of health care has risen over 131% in the last 10 years with no indication this trend will slow down much less reverse course.
The American workforce is not healthy – over 33% of the U.S. population have reached obesity levels and over 67% are overweight, which in turn has resulted in an alarming increase in the incidence of chronic diseases like Diabetes, Heart Disease, Stroke and Cancer. All of these diseases, in part, are caused by poor lifestyle.
The drop in productivity due to an unhealthy workforce equates to a loss of over $73 Billion annually. If you add time lost due to hypertension and stress, that figure is closer to $300 Billion.

Businesses want a better benefits cost-containment model. They need a proven strategy that will:

Improve Employee Health
Increase worker productivity
Reduce the crippling costs that over-utilization of medical benefits and worker’s compensation claims creates.
