Why Corporate Wellness & Health Coaching?
Surprisingly, most health care costs are preventable, but it takes a Wellness program to engage your employees in sustainable behavioral change. Ninety-five percent of health care expenditures are committed to diagnosing illness or disease only after it has manifested, and 70% of the conditions are preventable through lifestyle, or health & wellness improvements. Eleven separate studies by the Centers for Disease Control suggest that employee wellness programs can produce significant improvements in employee health, productivity, and injury prevention. Fundamentally, organizations can no longer afford NOT to invest in health & wellness initiatives for their company and employees.
