Corporate Wellness
Want to create a program that produces results in the workplace?
As Certified Health and Wellness Coaches, we understand the importance of wellness and how it impacts businesses. Coaches work with the executives to devise a personalized plan that fits the needs of the business. These needs could be to reduce employee absenteeism through an accountability program, increase productivity through an incentive program of personal coaching or reduce healthcare costs by conducting health care assessments and establishing programs within the targeted areas. Targeted areas could be smoking cessation, stress management, obesity, depression or many others specific to the environment. As coaches, we provide a tracking system in order to monitor progress within each area.

Why Invest in a Wellness Program?

US Healthcare costs Corporations over $90 billion annually

Employers who invest in worksite health promotion programs can see a return
of $3-$6 for every dollar invested over a 2-5 year period

A recent study showed that corporate fitness center participants had 1.3 days
fewer short-term disability claims per year

Worker’s comp claims average 30% annual reduction for those
with employee wellness programs

Corporate Wellness Programs result in an average corporate
reduction in absenteeism is 28%

US Healthcare costs account for 16% of our gross domestic product in 2007 and are expected to rise to 20% by 2017. Wellness programs are founded on the belief that unhealthy lifestyles can be changed with the proper support structure. Wellness Programs provide an answer to these troubling statistics with a variety of techniques to draw upon. These programs include personalized health coaching, preventative care education and outcomes-based tracking, in addition to executive and individual coaching. Programs based on the latest findings in behavioral health research and technology are being combined to provide employers with increasingly effective and affordable methods for improving workforce health and productivity.

What Specifically is a Wellness Program?
Wellness programs incorporate coaching with incentives to produce awareness and an educational resource for areas of need. Larger companies tend to have a full time Wellness Director who oversees the program. Smaller to medium size companies tend to outsource with consultants for workshops or specific areas of concern. Wellness programs vary from executive coaching to individual coaching of employees, to assessing the health risks of the employees and creating teams of accountability and teamwork for encouragement. Education is an important aspect for the success of a wellness program because many employees don't have time outside of work to gain the knowledge they need for their health and well being. The workplace is seen as a supporter of the employee success both personally and professionally. Each company has needs for coaching and consulting just as each individual does. Discovering what is needed and how to make it work is where a coach can be beneficial.
