In organizations all across America, the cost of health and disability insurance (as well as sick time, retention and other related areas) has had a severely negative impact on the bottom line.  The outdated model of fixing these issues after they have already occurred is no longer effective.

A growing number of employers are taking a proactive approach to containing these costs by providing employee wellness programs as a standard employee benefit.  The research clearly demonstrates that by encouraging healthier choices among their employees, employers are reaping long term savings in terms of sick time, disability and health care costs.  Return on investment (“ROI”) analysis demonstrates that these measurables are only a portion of the cost savings.  In reality, companies that have effectively developed a wellness culture also realize cost savings in recruitment, retention, reputation and employee “presenteeism” (engagement).

During this 90-minute webinar, health and wellness industry expert Brad Cooper, MSPT, ATC will provide multiple steps your hospital can take – starting that same day – to begin implementing a program that will meet your goals and objectives.  In addition to the "Big Six" covered, attendees will also have the opportunity to analyze their current (or potential) program through the highly regarded Wellness Program Micro-Audit.
