Five Bottom-Line Benefits of a Corporate Wellness Program
Who wouldn’t want to work at Google? From free haircuts to onsite swimming pools, the tech giant is famous for its employee benefits programs and facilities.
In addition to all the fun stuff, Google also invests heavily in a corporate wellness program that includes everything from complete fitness studios to onsite physicians, physiotherapists and chiropratic treatments.
Beyond the fact that they have buckets of cash and are in heavy competition for the best and brightest tech minds, why would Google, or any company, devote significant resources to wellness services that are usually considered a personal choice; one that employees would normally pay for themselves and use on their own time?
It’s because of all the benefits companies can reap from an employee wellness program:
- Reduced Absenteeism – In 2011, the average Canadian worker was absent for almost two full weeks. That costs companies about 2.4% of their payroll. Health and wellness programs can produce a direct savings by reducing absentee rates.
- Higher Productivity – Healthier, happier employees will tend to get more done during a workday.
- Better Quality Job Candidates – Graduates and employees looking for a better working environment are increasingly looking for added value from employers. Those that offer wellness programs will be able to more easily attract superior candidates.
- Improved Corporate Reputation – We all know about Google’s employee benefits and it helps shape our perception of the company. Investors and customers alike take notice of everything you do as a company, including how you treat your employees.
- Lower Turnover Rates – Most companies underestimate the costs of recruiting, onboarding and training new employees. Wellness programs improve employee retention rates.
Most small- and medium-sized business owners presume that a corporate wellness program is an expensive proposition. But the benefits can far outweigh the costs.
