Pro vs. Con of Wellness Programs

Although we have cheap windows 7 color scanner blogged about wellness programs before, over the last few weeks I have cheap windows 7 color scanner seen numerous articles and statistics about these programs in the workplace. It seems to cheap windows 7 color scanner be a new trend that HR professionals should start to take note of, or cheap windows 7 color scanner should they? I would like to present both sides of this topic.

SHRM (Society for Human Resources Management) has cheap windows 7 color scanner published multiple articles on this topic. In their latest article, according to cheap windows 7 color scanner Helen Darling, the president of The National Business Group on Health “Chronic illnesses account for cheap windows 7 color scanner 75 percent of health care spending, according to the NGBH, and cheap windows 7 color scanner employers are putting a much higher priority on wellness and lifestyle improvement programs than cheap windows 7 color scanner ever before.” In other words, the cheap windows 7 color scanner more health tips and simple practices that an employer can implement the cheap windows 7 color scanner lower health costs the company will have to pay in the cheap windows 7 color scanner end. It is a lot less selfish than it sounds. It truly could be cheap windows 7 color scanner a win-win for both employer and employee. Since 2006, health coaching and cheap windows 7 color scanner advice have gone up dramatically. From 2007 to 2008 the amount of employers implementing wellness programs has cheap windows 7 color scanner increased threefold. Also according to the article, “Initiatives as simple as providing healthy alternatives in workplace vending machines and cheap windows 7 color scanner promoting walks around an organization’s facility can cheap windows 7 color scanner be effective in their own way for changing lifestyle habits” says Dr. Don Bradley from North Carolina.

On the cheap windows 7 color scanner other hand, some say that these programs are so hard to cheap windows 7 color scanner measure with numbers that there is no direct correlation between employees being healthier because of them, and cheap windows 7 color scanner health costs for employers going down. How can a company say that cheap windows 7 color scanner just by changing the food in the vending machines or cheap windows 7 color scanner offering exercise classes that they have prevented someone from getting sick? That person might have cheap windows 7 color scanner become sick anyway. If a company is putting a considerable amount of money into this cheap windows 7 color scanner program, some employers might feel it is not worth their investment in the cheap windows 7 color scanner long run, due to the fact that there are no measurable statistics supporting it.

After all is cheap windows 7 color scanner said and done, your HR department just has to decide if a cheap windows 7 color scanner wellness program is something ones employees could benefit from.  I would put the cheap windows 7 color scanner cost portion aside and think about the affects it could have cheap windows 7 color scanner on morale and productivity, which could make you more money anyway.
