With a new study revealing that making four lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk of major chronic illness, it’s not surprising corporations are taking a closer look at launching wellness programs.

According to the seven-year-plus study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, people who do not smoke, have a body mass index lower than 30, exercise for at least three-and-a-half hours each week and eat a healthy diet with many fruits, vegetables and whole-grain bread can reduce the risk of chronic illness like diabetes, heart attack, stroke and cancer by an average of nearly 80 percent.

How do wellness programs promote healthy behaviors?

Wellness programs not only help improve the health of employees by motivating them to take care of themselves, but they also reduce these alarming health care costs associated with obesity and other major health issues.

How Does The Program Work?

Employees decide on the kinds of activities they want to do to meet the goals of the health area they have chosen.  They must follow the program in sequence and provide documentation that they have met their goals to progress to the next level.  If an employee completes an entire program, they can be re-enrolled in the following year in a higher category and can earn increasingly valuable gifts and incentives.

What is the Benefit for the Company?

• Employees who are healthier have a lower absentee rate
• Wellness programs are proven to lower health care costs by up to 15%
