Reduce Healthcare Costs:
The total cost of obesity related disease alone, is estimated at $13 billion per year.
US employers lose an estimated $1,685 per employee per year due to health problems.
It’s no question that employers have been hard hit by the soaring costs of providing health care benefits. Recent studies indicate that almost 50% of corporate profits now go for health care costs versus only 7% three decades ago. A national report by McKinsey & Company, projects that if the current trends continue, healthcare costs will soon outweigh profits for America’s largest companies.
Medically related employee productivity costs are two to three times as costly as direct healthcare expenses for most companies.
The good news is that 50% of all healthcare costs are due to unhealthy behaviors which are specifically addressed with Resolve Today's solutions for fitness, nutrition and stress management. And because our focus is both education and long-term behavior change using proven tools -- Six Seconds EQ model, the Kolbe method and wellness coaching -- our clients have a much higher rate of success.
Improve Work Performance
The mean market to book ratio of the S&P 500 companies is now 6.0, which means that for every $6 of market value, only $1 appears on the average balance sheet, while the remaining $5 represents intangible assets.
Using the Stanford Presenteeism Scale, a recent study shows that productive time lost to common pain conditions costs employers $61 billion dollars, most of which is due to impaired performance at work rather than work absence.
The biggest untapped source of productivity gains for organizations of all types, is employee health and performance. Many companies claim their people are their most important asset. Over the last two decades due to rapidly changing global economy and incredible advances in technology, this often-used cliché has become a business imperative.
Intangible assets, which include intellectual capital, good will and human capital are now more of a factor in business success that either financial or physical assets for most companies. Recent studies place the average market value of tangible assets in many companies as low as 15%. In other words, up to 85% of a company’s expenses may be related to intangible capital. And while intangible assets are often very difficult to classify and value for a company, it’s clear, that the performance of an organization’s human capital is truely the primary determinant for its success or failure.
Resolve Todaysm leverages your investment in your employees and delivers programs that improve work performance. For example, researchers have studied the impact of exercise on job performance and in one case, found that while the productivity of non-exercising office workers decreased 50% during the final two hours of the workday, exercisers worked at full efficiency all day - a 12.5% difference in productivity between the two groups.
Motivate & Engage
Studies show that wellness programs have a positive impact on recruitment and retention of high achieving employees, and contribute to a more motivated and loyal work force.
"Genius, that power that dazzles mortal eyes, is oft but perserverance in disguise."
Henry Willard Austin
Creating a corporate culture of Wellness, encourages employees to look at business in an entirely different way. The message it sends is that the organization supports and accepts employees as individuals with priorities beyond the workplace.
When employees develop personal strategies for health, and wellness, they contribute to an organization that values self-responsibility, healthy fun and mutual respect. Employees feel more connected to what they do and to the company's business goals. The skills learned by goal setting, modeling, eliminating barriers, and celebrating success also help them in their professional as well as personal life.
Organizations benefit from wellness programs by experiencing an increase in knowledge sharing, reduction in employee turnover, an improved ability to recruit new employees, improvements in customer satisfaction and service quality, and an overall greater coherence of action.
Create Balance & Engage
A work/life balance survey conducted in 2002 by TrueCareers states that 70% of more than 1,500 respondents said they don’t have a healthy balance between their work and personal lives.
According the American Institute on Stress, one million workers are absent each year due to stress-related complaints and American firms annually lose more than 5 million workdays due to illness, more than half stress-related. Another study found that 72% of all workers surveyed experienced three or more stress-related illnesses somewhat or very often.
Scientists agree that in moderate amounts, stress can be benign, even beneficial and most people are equipped to deal with it. However, increasing levels of stress can rapidly lead to low employee morale, poor productivity, and decreasing job satisfaction. With the increased focus on work performance and employees renewed interest in personal lives and the value of family, the stress associated with work/life balance is an issue for individuals and organizations alike.
Resolve Todays' programs help employees examine important aspects of their professional and personal lives and understand how they relate. Within the framework of total life planning, our goal is to motivate employees to assess both their emotional and physical wellbeing. While our focus is health, participants often develop a new understanding of their relationships, careers, spirituality and even their financial standing. We also provide a free online community that let's participants interact with one another and with experts in these five important cornerstones of total wellness.
