Corporate Health
All corporations, large and small are concerned with "the numbers" and ultimately the "bottom line." Let me share some facts and figures that I am sure you will find alarming.
Almost 60% of Americans obtain their health care coverage through work. These costs are skyrocketing placing immense stress on both families and employers. The main cause... FAILING HEALTH. Americans are simply becoming sicker, heavier and experiencing greater work-related injuries.
Cardio Vascular Disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. Heart disease and stroke will cost the nation $351 billion ($142 billion in lost productivity, absenteeism etc and $209 billion in health care expenditures... Center for Disease Control and Prevention). In the USA, 2 out of 3 adults are obese / over-weight. Poor diet and inactivity are the main causes. This costs employers almost $13 billion in health care, paid sick leave and insurance. 60-80% of the population will suffer from back pain / carpal tunnel syndrome resulting in $1.3 billion in lost production and services with $125 million spent on worker's compensation (Bureau Labor Statistics, 2004). Corporations are certainly paying the price.
The bad thing is not only are these figures excessive but are rising. The good thing is that something can be done... Outstanding Fitness LLC IS THE SOLUTION. We firmly believe in the principles of Wellness and Prevention. The benefits of Health and Wellness programs are well documented... increased energy, elevated mood, stress relief, boosted morale and mental focus all help increase productivity, reduce absenteeism and lower health care costs and premiums. In essence they improve the "Bottom Line".
Employees who are healthy and functioning at a high level of mental and physical well-being are obviously going to perform better and demonstrate greater loyalty to a company that shows it cares. This, in turn, helps reduce turnover and re-hiring costs.
We believe that investing in the well-being of your employees is an investment in the company itself... "Good Health IS Good Business."
