The Business Owner Dilemma
Many business owners struggle to find the
balance between their business budgets and their employees well-being. The
spiraling cycle of rising health insurance costs, business taxes, unproductive
employees, was creating mountains of paperwork and a drain on their time. With over 41% of American workers mired in
chronic illness and the complexity of insurance programs to deal with, business
owners are caught in the middle. Their
bottom line really shows the effects.
Business owners who supplied good and useful wellness
information to their employees and the occasional speaker saw some positive
changes, yet not the lasting results they wanted. Without action nothing much changes. The keys to that action are exercise and
proper nutrition. Business owners need
support in helping their employees become more engaged in their own healthcare.
How does your workforce compare to the
national average?
Statistically if there are 100 people in a company...
ü 1
uses cocaine
ü 5
are being treated for diabetes
ü 10
drink alcohol heavily
ü 10
have high blood pressure
ü 10
have diabetes (5 don't know they have it)
ü 25
smoke cigarettes
ü 25
have high cholesterol
ü 25
have heart disease
ü 30
are overweight by more than 20%
ü 50
feel they are under moderate stress
These
unhealthy lifestyles and habits all contribute to the escalation of healthcare
costs. In addition they result in
decreased productivity and increased injury and absenteeism. Most are the result of treatable illnesses,
conscious decisions, inadequate information and ignorance.

The
bottom line is that without proper exercise and nutrition, our bodies slowly
break down into a state of disease.
Why Work-Site Fitness Makes Sense
- In order to manage the 10,000 steps per day recommended by
walking advocates, workers who remain sedentary during their work day would
have to spend most of their evenings in motion.
- The U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services has found
that without access to fruits and vegetables on the job, a working adult would
have to eat 1-2 cups of fruits or vegetables every waking hour after work to
meet the recommended 3 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups daily.
- 1/3 of the average employee day is spent working, 1/3
sleeping and the other 1/3 trying to catch up and do all the normal everyday
things, some fun things, have a social life and some down time. A reason often given for lack of exercise is
"no time".
With our Corporate Fitness Program in place at your
worksite, there is time because they don't have to travel anywhere extra. If the business has showers available, we
find that using the first half hour for exercise and the last half hour for
them to clean up, change and eat their lunch works best. For a business without showers available,
immediately after work is usually the norm.
