over half of America’s population experiences high-stress levels on any given day?
The future of our nation, money, and then work are the top three sources of stress for the US workforce. Each year, workplace stress costs businesses $300 billion and takes 120,000 lives. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing, and medical and mental health providers are dangerously overworked to just keep up. When employees are stressed, morale drops and productivity hits an all-time low. What can your business do to stop the rising trend in its tracks?
Corporate Wellness Programs
To combat these statistics, corporations can invest in wellness programs for their employees. Wellness programs assist people to stay healthy, energized and focused. Wellness programs concentrate on removing stress contributors and education on how poor nutrition affects overall wellness. Not only can corporate wellness programs provide education, but they also can provide systems that the company can put in place that benefit both the organization and the employees.
Dedicating and investing resources to prevention instead of treatment is worthwhile. For every dollar invested in a corporate wellness program, medical costs are reduced by $3.27. Wellness programs not only lower health costs, but they also minimize absenteeism and helps to keep company morale high. Employees that are well taken care of are more productive and loyal to their companies.
About Corporate Wellness
The Power in Health was founded after many years of first-hand experience in a high stress, anxious and anger filled environments. It took a toll on her overall health. Stress, time management issues, self-care, and food were integrally intertwined.
Many observed and experienced that long hours in the office and at home leave a person drained, constantly waking up tired, and never feeling properly rested. While she saw that some companies did provide drinks and snacks in an attempt to help their employees with health, most of those provided were processed foods. There was also little time in the day for downtime and self-care to help minimize stress levels.
A lot of our well-being is linked to the people around us and what foods and chemicals go into our bodies. Eating clean reduces one of the stresses, giving our bodies the chance to feel good and help how WE feel and interact with the world around us. Companies can help reduce employee stress, anxiety and anger by investing in Corporate Wellness Programs. By providing training and supplies, workers can have the tools and means to stay healthy, happy, and effective.
