Creating a Healthier Workplace
The worksite organizational culture and environment are powerful influences on behavior and these need to be put to use as a means of assisting employees to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Companies across the nation can utilize work site health promotion and disease prevention as a critical strategy to improve their bottom line. Fundamentally, health promotion and disease prevention interventions such as screenings, health education and awareness, supportive work environment and on site fitness amenities aims to reduce behavioral risk factors in order to improve employee health thereby resulting in lower health care cost and employees improved performance.
Health benefit costs continue to rise. Employers have tried to lessen these costs by adopting managed care strategies, cost shifting to employees and reducing benefits. These solutions are no longer effectively controlling costs and are depressing the value of health benefits for employee recruitment and retention. An alternative strategy to contain costs is to improve the health of employees so that less medical care is required. A program that educate your employees on how to improve their health, choose healthier food and take actions toward living a more balanced life.
