Why Health Promotion Makes Good Business Sense

Today, more than 80% of American businesses with 50 or more employees have some form of health promotion program. Most employers offer wellness programs simply because they think the benefit is worth the cost. Yet business leaders continue to ask themselves how to control huge annual increases in health insurance premiums and healthcare costs. For many companies, medical costs can consume half of corporate profits—or more. Some employers look to cost sharing, cost shifting, managed care plans, risk-rating, and cash-based incentives. But these methods merely shift costs. Only worksite health promotion stands out as the long-term answer for keeping employees well in the first place.

The Case for Employee Wellness

Employee health promotion programs are based on the theory that it costs less to educate workers about health risks than to pay for the cost of ill health and disease. The following benefits from in-house employee fitness and wellness programs have been demonstrated.

• Decreased absenteeism
• Decrease employee turnover
• Reduced health care claims
• Decreased musculoskeletal injuries
• Increased organizational effectiveness
• Return on investment
