<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>For A Superior Workplace You Need Healthy Workers</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by George Dodson</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'>Most of us work because we have to make a living somehow. We get employment in various jobs. Some of us work indoors; some of us work out of doors. Most of us work a nine to five. Then there are daytime jobs and also nighttime. What may people who study these things know for sure is that a healthy person is a better employee.<br />
<br />
Is spending on health a cost effective option?<br />
<br />
An example is the multinational company Amway, which employs 3900. The company says that for every dollar it spends on fitness for employees, it gets two dollars back in savings. What is the justification for this? Most employees who have participated in their wellness plan have lowered their medical and drug claims by eight percent. Some have lost weight. One woman who works for Amway lost 85 pounds in 18 months. This has given her an abundance of energy which naturally had reflected in quality work and increased production for the company. Most companies agree that it takes up to three years to realize cost savings from a program that employees undertake. They say it takes time for employees to learn new behaviors.<br />
<br />
It is also come to notice that the health expenditure of those employees who do not take part in such fitness program rose up to 23 percent.<br />
<br />
Flexco is another firm which has taken the initiative to implement such health oriented program for their employees. This program become very successful and the company was able to gain an amount close to a hundred thousand dollars just by reduced premium costs. That definitely affects the bottom line. In addition, the company helps pay the employee deductibles.<br />
<br />
As an incentive, the employees earn wellness points when they join this program. With these points, they can reduce their share of the annual health care costs up to $850. This acts as an incentive for the employees to get enrolled in this. It also helps that the employee is volunteering to get in the program rather than being forced to get in.<br />
<br />
This program can be incorporated in the overall strategy of the firm. This would benefit the company in many ways. They have healthy people who are willing to stay healthy and combine that with the goals of the company. This makes for a better working environment overall.<br />
<br />
Often employees are unhappy when they are asked to undergo tests for this, but it often helps to diagnose certain deceases before they become bad.<br />
<br />
These two examples show that it makes a lot of sense to encourage employees to stay healthy, whether you do it through the company or you encourage them to do it on their own. Some companies even offer free membership to their employees in fitness centers and health groups. Healthier employees is an essential part of making a business profitable and successful. This makes for a better workplace.<br />
