Is Your Workplace Wellness Program Truly Working?
Upgrade Employee Wellness: A Game-Changer for Your Company's Success
In today’s fast-paced workplace, employee health isn’t just a “nice to have” — it’s a must. Studies show that one out of every four dollars employers spend on health care ties directly to unhealthy lifestyle choices or conditions like stress, obesity, and smoking. These are preventable issues that cost companies thousands annually, yet they also represent an incredible opportunity for change.
At first glance, many companies think they’re addressing these challenges with workplace wellness programs. But here’s the catch: many initiatives are too superficial to make a real impact. If you’re in HR, you know the stakes—rising healthcare costs, absenteeism, and the toll poor health takes on team morale and productivity.
Let’s talk about how we can change that.
The True ROI of Wellness
Recent research from the University of Michigan reveals eye-opening numbers:
Healthy employees cost an average of $3,000 per year in health care, while employees with at least one medical condition cost about $10,000 annually.
Modifiable health risks—things like stress, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and smoking—account for $750 in added costs for healthy employees and $2,600 for employees with existing conditions.
Now imagine reducing those costs by empowering your team to adopt healthier habits. Workplace wellness programs designed with depth and care don’t just save money; they create healthier, happier, and more engaged employees.
Here’s the real win-win: When employees feel better, they show up better. For themselves, for their team, and for your company.
Making Wellness a Standard, Not a Suggestion
This is where I come in. I’m a functional nutrition specialist, a certified health coach, and a wellness professional who works directly with businesses to build programs that actually work. My approach goes beyond generic solutions, focusing on:
Increasing awareness of the link between lifestyle and health.
Motivating change by addressing root causes and personalizing solutions.
Equipping employees with tools to build and sustain healthy habits.
Think of me as your health strategist—someone who can design a program that delivers results, from boosting energy and reducing stress to improving morale and even retention.
Why Wellness Is Smart Business
Investing in employee wellness isn’t just about reducing health care costs. It’s about creating a culture where health is prioritized, leading to:
Increased productivity and focus.
Lower absenteeism and turnover.
A more competitive edge in recruitment and retention.
For every dollar spent on wellness programs, studies show an average return of $3.27 in health care savings and $2.73 in reduced absenteeism. Those numbers are hard to ignore.
