ROI – Return on Investment?

or Realizing our Impact!

 

“The problem with measuring true Return on Investment is that it is extremely expensive and usually unnecessary. Why spend money where big players like Microsoft have already done the work? The research proves, without question that you can double your investment by allocation some resources to wellness.” – Dr. Ted Steffen

 

The tangible benefits of corporate wellness initiatives are clear and supported by research: reduced costs, lower absenteeism, improved performance by more motivated employees, and thriving overall ROI. Measuring these things definitively in your company is costly, time consuming, and robs your organization of precious resources that could be allocated toward programs that will bring you a positive return.

What is immeasurable is the value that you can add to your employee’s daily lives by providing them with an opportunity to take charge, improve and enhance their own lives. This has proven to be the greatest factor of employee productivity and performance: feeling as if their employer cares for them and their well-being. This is what matters. Why not measure what matters?

Well designed and implemented wellness programs are, in essence, a grassroots platform to change the way that people view wellness and the way healthcare dollars are spent, resulting in decreased healthcare costs and improved health and well-being of the American workforce.

Employee Cost vs. Employee Investment? How you view corporate wellness- as a cost or as an investment - will define you as a leader or a loser in the fight the American population is waging against rising sickness and poor health. You are the key to choosing more sustainable ways to live and work.

“The important aspects of a company’s long term financial health are based on the kind of choices the company and employees make in caring for themselves for optimal performance—this is the culture of well-being which is a culture of success, profitability, and sustainability.” – Buzz Truitt
