I am pleased to announce that JPZ Fitness now offers a corporate wellness program through Empowris.
Empowris offers a new approach to corporate health and wellness programs - a qualified, accountable marketplace of a community's top weight management programs, designed to drive employee engagement and healthy outcomes. Through the application of best practice guidelines, Empowris ensures that employees are using programs designed for results. Businesses teamed up with Empowris allow their employees to schedule consultations with JPZ Fitness at a subsidized cost.
A corporate wellness program has the potential to reduce an employee’s chance of incurring key health risks such as obesity, high cholesterol and blood pressure, as well as the potential to help employees stop smoking or abusing alcohol. Benefits of worksite wellness programs for employees include weight reduction, improved physical fitness, increased stamina, lower levels of stress, and increased well-being, self-image and self-esteem.
With those risks mitigated, companies could cut their health care costs by about $650 (or 18% per average working-age adult) and up to 28% for older adults and retirees, according to a study in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
In addition, companies with wellness programs find that productivity among employees is better because they are sick less often. According to Corporate Wellness Magazine, each dollar invested in a wellness program can yield about $4 in increased productivity, with less absenteeism and lower insurance costs.
Employees are also more likely to stay with a company they perceive to be making an investment in their well-being, according to an article posted by GreenIndustryPros.com.
A study by Wellness Proposals also found that companies in which wellness programs were implemented, sick leave was down by 28%, use of health care benefits was lowered by 26% and compensation claims made by employees were reduced by 30%.
