Why It Matters

Build your reputation as a great place to work—for present and future employees.

Reduce healthcare costs

Healthy employees have fewer medical costs and cost less to insure. (So it’s good for your company’s health, too.)

Reduce Absenteeism

Healthy employees are less likely to get sick or injured—and less likely to miss work.

Increase Productivity

Reduced stress, increased energy, and stronger camaraderie make for a more productive team.
