Invest in Employee Health with Employee Wellness Program

Upfront costs don’t only pay off when it comes to property and casualty insurance - they pay off for employee health insurance, too.

A school's health care insurance costs can be a large part of your budget and can really add up. Your premiums may be going up due to employees suffering from diabetes, asthma, and other chronic illnesses related to poor diet and exercise habits, which is why it may be a wise idea to consider adopting an employee wellness program.

Many businesses are seeing relief from high premiums with employee wellness programs. These programs encourage healthy habits and make it easy for employees to get preventative care. Although there are upfront costs associated with the programs, the out-of-pocket expenses were more than covered by the premium savings obtained by your health insurance company for establishing such a program. Another benefit is the fact that “healthier” employees miss less work days… therefore, reducing expenses for substitutes or temporary aides.
