A Healthy Workforce Supports Your Bottom Line
Keeping your employees healthy is not just good for your workforce; it’s also good for your bottom line. Did you know that unscheduled employee absences can cost employers $3,600 a year per hourly employee?
In addition, some employees who have chronic health conditions may not be fully productive, a phenomenon known as “presenteeism”.
Here are some low-cost and no-cost tips to reduce absenteeism and “presenteeism”:
Ask employees to form a healthy living committee. Employees will embrace healthier living at work if they’re engaged in planning healthy workplace activities. Choose committee members of all ages and fitness levels.
Promote good nutrition. What kind of food is offered to employees in vending machines, the cafeteria or at meetings? Replace the morning donuts with low-fat yogurt or in-season fruit. Start a weight loss challenge program so that employees can support each other in making dietary changes.
Encourage physical activity throughout the workday. Create walking clubs with activities geared toward a variety of fitness levels. Provide inexpensive pedometers to encourage employees to reach 10,000 steps per day. Instead of meeting around a conference room table, ask small groups to try walking meetings outside.
Find out if your health insurer offers healthy lifestyles programs. In addition to traditional health education classes, Kaiser Permanente offers free online programs to support patients in reaching their health goals. These programs assess patients’ health and provide tools to manage chronic conditions, lose weight, eat healthy, quit smoking, and reduce stress.
Invest in the health of your workforce. You’ll find that healthier employees will reduce sick days, lower medical costs and increase productivity.
