American employees are sick, overweight, and in pain.  As a result, they are easily injured, miss days from work, and are less productive.
Even though the United States spends the most money worldwide on medication and surgical intervention, its citizens continue to suffer in increasing numbers.  And who picks up the brunt of the tab?  Employers.  Over the years, employer insurance premiums have risen drastically.  In fact, the NCHC notes that in 2005 employer premiums rose nearly 3 times the rate of inflation!  Employers are now realizing that it is their profits being lost and that to help their bottom line, they must help their employees get healthy.
The good news is that the causes of 80% of employee health problems, namely being overweight, unmanaged stress, and repetitive motion disorders, can be addressed to reduce health care costs. 
First, while a normal-weight employee costs a company $114, an over-weight employee costs $513, and an obese employee costs $620 per year.  To solve this problem, employers must implement a workable weight loss program.  While diet and exercise work temporarily for some, the majority of employees would greatly benefit from a cleansing approach to weight loss.  Cleansing is a safe, rapid way to lose weight.  In addition, the weight loss is much easier to maintain than weight lost from diet and exercise alone.
Second, stress and its affect on the adrenal glands greatly contributes to an array of health problems including sleeping problems, fatigue, high blood pressure, decreased immunity, digestive problems, and blood sugar regulation problems.  To solve this problem, employers must screen its employees for stress related problems, and when indicated, implement nutrition and supplementation programs to help their employees better handle the physical consequences of stress on their bodies.
Third, preventing on-the-job injuries by reducing repetitive motion disorders is the last component to improving employee health and reducing healthcare expenditures.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, carpal tunnel caused primarily by computer work, is the most frequent and the most costly repetitive motion injury accounting for the longest time from work and more than $20,000 in benefits if surgery was required.  To solve this problem, an effective ergonomics and stretch program must be implemented to keep employees productive and prevent injury.
A good corporate wellness program will address problems related to being overweight, unmanaged stress, and repetitive motion disorders. It will engage employees, show them how to naturally, safely, and effectively handle their health problems, and teach them how live a healthy life to prevent future problems.  And, it will SAVE AN EMPLOYER MONEY by reducing the overall cost of healthcare.
 
Other health professionals have charged over $1000 for similar programs, however I am glad to provide this workshop as a community service at no charge as a part of my mission to educate the community toward optimal health.  I do ask that both management and employees attend and that we work at making this a huge success for our office and yours. The program runs for approximately 15 or 60 minutes depending on your needs; however it can be slightly modified to accommodate your schedule. I am currently finalizing my schedule of community health classes for the next 90 days. Please call to discuss and schedule the program to best meet your company’s needs. My calendar is filling up quickly so I urge you to reserve your date soon to ensure that the company and employees can benefit the most from our program.
