It costs employers an average of $1500 MORE per year to insure an obese employee than it does someone of average weight. The total cost for unhealthy employees is assumed to be even higher when other factors, such as absenteeism and productivity are taken into account. Employee Benefit News; May 1997
"It's our expectation that by the year 2016, the end of our projection period, that health care costs, which currently consume about 16 percent of the total economy's expenditures, or GDP, by 2016 will consume about 20 percent of GDP."
-John Poisal, deputy director of the government's National Health Statistics Group, which did the study, told CBS News.

Chances are that if you're reading this it is because you are concerned with rising healthcare costs for your company, and many others are too. U.S. Health Care is estimated to grow to nearly $3 trillion (over $9,000 per person!) by 2010, and corporations in Hartford and other local cities are no exception. It is imperative to catch these health problems before they fully develop and/or snowball into more severe problems, because at that point it is too late to cut costs because of the expensive nature of treatment. Every penny invested in prevention pays back much more in savings because disease development is cut short. Efficiency is spending money NOW on prevention rather than later for treatment.
It takes a health and fitness company with the ability to tailor appropriate services for each company individually to ensure positive functionality and return.
A few things to consider:
1. We guarantee results!
2. Taking time to implement one of our programs, though counterintuitive, will act as a timesaver as well as a productivity booster.
3. According to the Wellness Councils of America (welcoa.org), "More than 81% of businesses with fifty or more employees have some form of health promotion program-the most popular being exercise, stop-smoking classes, back care programs, and stress management. Most employers are offering wellness programs to offset the rising costs of health care. Yet many business leaders continue to ask themselves how to control massive increases in annual insurance premiums and health care costs." The answer is clear!
