As an employer, it is essential to help keep your workforce healthy. It makes good business and financial sense: An employee who is more physically fit, and who understands the benefits of good nutrition, is likely to be more productive, and have higher morale. These employees are also more insurable, which means their employer pays hundreds of dollars less each year to provide them with healthcare benefits.

90% of an employer's healthcare costs are generated by just 5% to 30% of their total workforce. (Towers Perrin, Sept. 28, 2005)
More than 75% of healthcare spending today is related to diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
Simple, preventive measures, such as regular exercise and healthy eating habits, can eliminate, or significantly reduce, the risk of developing these and other serious conditions - and ultimately, reduce healthcare costs driving up bottom line earnings. ROI Research Info
The rising cost of premiums makes it increasingly difficult for employers to provide healthcare coverage to their workforce - especially large companies, with 500 or more employees. However, by improving the overall health and fitness of your workforce, you can reduce the cost of this vital employee benefit significantly.
