Workplace Health Return on Investment
Investing in the "good health practices" of the individual employee will improve productivity and help reduce healthcare costs while creating a healthier workplace and corporate culture. In addition, promoting individual wellness throughout the organization will decrease the demand on healthcare benefits, reducing costs associated with insurance, prescription drugs, lost productivity and lost time due to illness.Canadian research proves that for every dollar spent on creating a healthier organization, between three and nine dollars are returned on this investment within five years.
Workforce Health Risk Assessment (WHRA)
Comprised of a series of questions related to physical health, wellness, worksite satisfaction and organizational change, the WHRA measures key factors that influence optimal health, stress coping and work/life balance.
Unique in the workplace health sector, the WHRA is the only research proven tool capable of assessing both personal health practices and job resilience.
