WORKSITE WELLNESS
Overweight and obese employees cost American businesses 52% more in healthcare costs compared to their healthy weight counterparts. Health experts estimate that almost 70% of all illness in the U.S. can be prevented by modifying detrimental lifestyle behaviors like smoking, alcohol abuse, poor die, and physical inactivity.
Worksite wellness is one of the easiest ways to enhance your business and increase your bottom line. Your employees are your best resource, but only if they are healthy! By leveraging a health promotion initiative, employers can take important steps toward preventing unnecessary sickness and death. Weight loss and behavior modification programs work and can reduce many of the comorbid diseases associated with obesity, and the subsequent financial costs involved.
Clearly, it makes a lot of sense. If you can reduce the burden of illness among your workforce by preventing the major causes of sickness, more of your employees will remain healthy and productive. What's more, you may even save some money in the process.
Nourish Your Body's worksite wellness program caters to the hectic schedules of your employees. The program consists of weekly sessions with a Registered Dietitian specifically trained in weight management for health improvement and long term success. The program includes incentives for meeting both diet and exercise goals, as well as for weekly attendance. Losing weight is only half the battle. Keeping it off is the real challenge. For lifetime weight management you need the knowledge and skills, and that is what the program is geared toward providing.
Your employees will be presented with reliable and easy to understand information that teaches not only what to eat, but when to eat, why, and how to choose foods even during those difficult situations like parties, social gatherings, holidays, business meetings and travel.
