The U.S. Centers for Disease Control published useful tips on the benefits of an employee wellness program. The American Heart Association picked them up, and as we head into the final month of the year (and for many companies, the close of open enrollment), we thought they'd be useful to repeat here:
For Employers:
- “Lower health care and disability costs.”
- “Enhanced employee productivity.”
- “Reduced employee absenteeism.”
- “Decreased rates of illness and injuries.”
- “Enhanced corporate image.”
- “Improved employee morale.”
- “Improved employee recruitment and retention.”
- “Increased organizational commitment and creation of a culture of health.”
For Employees:
- “Increased well-being, self-image, and self-esteem.”
- “Improved coping skills with stress or other factors affecting health.”
- “Improved health status,Lower costs for acute health issues.”
- “Lower out of pocket costs for health care services (e.g., reduced premiums; deductibles; co-payments).”
- “Increased access to health promotion resources and social support.”
- “Improved job satisfaction.”
- “Safer and more supportive work environment.”
