Studies have shown that for every dollar invested by employers in workplace wellness programs, there was an average savings of more than $3.00. In business terms, that's a 3:1 return on investment. Employers now realize that they can no longer afford NOT to invest in employee health.
Wellness programs focusing primarily on disease prevention and reducing risk factors.These programs have been shown to lower absenteeism, worker turnover rates, and healthcare costs.
Most wellness programs consist of health testing, screening and health risk assessment. Intervention programs offer "education" that include quarterly presentations, seminars and/or web resource programs.

Corporate Classes
On paper, a wellness program looks great. However, what makes or breaks the success of the program is the daily application of the plan.
Lifestyle change is very challenging and one lecture every few months and web support are helpful, BUT not enough to make a change. After your employees get the results of their blood tests and see cholesterol levels and blood pressure readings that are off the chart, it shakes them for a minute or two and they promise to do something about it. Then two minutes later, they let life take over and they are back to their old ways. It is hard to break bad habits, and your employees feel helpless. It is a vicious cycle, but we are here to break that cycle at Jackie's Gym.
- The first step identifies those employees who are predisposed to participating in the plan.
