"I Wish I Had Time To Work Out."
Well, Why Not Make It Easier For Them To Do That?
Health Clubs, Fitness Centers and Gym's help lower health care costs, reduce absenteeism and disability time, lower workers compensation rates, improve productivity and improve the overall physical and mental health of employess.
Today's Wellness Programs look very different than the health and fitness initiatives of the past. The best programs are aggressive and focused on screening, prevention and measurable results. They are customized to address the needs of myriad unique populations.
10 percent of health and fitness customers consume 80 percent of the health-care costs. "In order for a wellness program to be successful and have significant financial impact, it has to be robust enough to engage that 10 percent," says David Hunnicutt, President of the Wellness Councils of America, a nonprofit health-promotion organization. An easy, cost effective way to do that is by providing a diversion so customers return and complete their programs.
What makes a corporate wellness program successful? One thing that is known is that people get bored when they work out. In order to overcome this, many successful health and fitness locations have installed relaxing music and/or satellite television video from A Sound and Video.
