Companies understand that physical wellness programs can save them money. Organizations incentivize employees with rewards for getting annual physicals, tracking their steps per day, and quitting smoking. This is a great first step, but its benefit is limited because it is only treating half of the problem…
Research shows that as many as 70% of primary care doctor visits have a co-existing mental health component. In other words, smoking is more than just an unhealthy habit, it serves as a mental health coping strategy. This is true of poor eating habits, lack of exercise, physical health problems created by stress, and sleep issues, just to name a few. We can help you save on healthcare costs by integrating strategic mental health components into your existing wellness programs.
Marriage and family conflicts, financial stress, relationship complications, addictions, depression, anxiety, and many other issues play hidden roles in work performance and productivity. Like an annual physical, proactive mental health programs will maximize company savings and will advocate for a far more energized and motivated workforce. When your people are holistically cared for, it translates into greater productivity, a more enjoyable work environment, higher company morale, and lower healthcare costs.
