Facts about Work-Site Wellness
Reduced Absenteeism
Healthier employees spend fewer days away from work due to illness, saving the company thousands of dollars on down time and temp help. Wellness programs also alleviate depression and help employees manage their time and stress levels, which contribute to productivity loss.
- The average cost of absenteeism per employee is $1,387/year.
- On-site employee wellness programs reduce overall absenteeism by 19%, resulting in a savings of $264 per employee, per year.
- Employees participating in wellness programs take 70% fewer sick days than those opting out of wellness. (Source: WELCOA)
Reduced Employee Turnover
Company sponsored wellness programs send a message to employees that management values their work and their well-being, which leads to content employees who are less restless to leave. The healthier and happier the work force, the less a company has to spend on hiring and training new personnel. The annual turnover rate for wellness program participants of the Canada Life Assurance Company of Toronto was 1.8%, compared to the company-wide average of 18%.
