Today, Kevin Ruse from the YMCA joined us for our meeting to discuss the Workplace Wellness Program.
Employers that promote healthier living for both their at-risk and healthy staff can benefit in the short and long-terms. They can see increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, fewer accidents, lower turnover and increased ability to attract top talent. Medical costs can grow comparatively slower with insurance providers recognizing wellness programs in their premium calculations. From small companies to large corporations, the Y is your partner in health and wellness.
