Employee wellness is an important investment in your company’s bottom line. In fact, $500 billion and 550 million workdays are lost to the US economy every year due to work-related stress. No one wants their company to contribute to this statistic.

Burned out employees are also 63% more likely to take a sick day, 23% more likely to visit the emergency room, and 250% more likely to be actively seeking another job. Given these statistics, it is essential for companies to help their workforce manage stress.
Companies that invest in the health of their employees show their team that they are valued and supported. This results in lower turnover rates and reduced recruitment and onboarding costs. Prioritizing corporate wellness also serves as a powerful recruitment tool to attract the best and brightest to work for your company.
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
First and foremost, a healthy workforce is a productive workforce. Employees who are physically and mentally well are more engaged, focused, and energized. In fact, happy employees are 31% more productive, have 37% higher sales, and are 300% more creative. Nurturing a workforce that is innovative, inspired, and fulfilled by their work gives any company an edge in today’s competitive market.
