According to the CDC, over one-third (36.5%) of U.S. adults are classified as obese and above a healthy weight. That means about 117.8 million adults are more susceptible to obesity-related conditions like heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, which are some of the leading causes of preventable death. The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. was $147 billion; the medical costs for people who have obesity were $1,429 higher than those of normal weight. Employees with chronic health conditions cost companies 5 times more ($6,032 per year).
As a caring employer, you don't want your folks to be stuck in an unhealthy cycle. And as a business owner, you don't want your company to suffer from inefficiency, lost time, and additional and unpredictable healthcare costs.
But here's the good news: You can do something about it! Given how much time we spend at work, it seems only logical that a corporate wellness program is uniquely suited to help your people get healthier, more active, and find the motivation to start. And, these programs are easier to create and maintain than you might think!
