Companies trying to increase productivity should offer their employees a wellness program to complement existing health insurance plans. Employees eating healthier meals and exercising regularly have better job performance and lower absenteeism from work. Educating employees about health, nutrition and fitness empowers them to explore a healthier lifestyle and set their own health goals. Armed with facts about their eating habits, sleep patterns and workouts, employees can make smart decisions that help them maintain their health.
Consequently, this directly contributes to fewer doctor visits. Medical issues dramatically reduce when a clean diet and routine exercise are added to the mix. Lowering the health risk of your employees can improve their mental and physical well-being. It can also support your cost containment strategies by reducing the overall cost of your expat health cover. Just having a wellness program on top of your health insurance could drop your premiums, but encouraging employees to incorporate it into their daily routine can be impactful!
