Workplace Wellness Support

Seitlin realizes the value of employee wellness, not only for its own employees, but for the employees of their clients and the community at-large. We have worked diligently to develop a program that encompasses an ongoing strategic approach that assists in fostering employee engagement and realizes great success for the employees and the company. Seitlin recognizes that employee wellness is not only a “good thing to do”, but also contributes to a cost saving measure for companies – in the form of reduced absenteeism, medical cost savings and overall employee welfare, just to name a few. Making the employees aware and giving them the knowledge to make positive lifestyle changes and choices will go a long way in containing those costs and creating a better way of life for everyone involved.

The Business Case for Worksite Wellness

• Research clearly shows that at a minimum, 25-30% of health expenditures are spent on costs associated with health risks that are directly due to lifestyle related choices. Many companies have no strategy to control this excess risk.
• Plan design changes and cost-shifting strategies alone will NOT sufficiently contain healthcare spending over time. Companies routinely take steps to minimize liability in other areas of their business, and must take steps to minimize risk in the area of healthcare.
• Research suggests the effectiveness of comprehensive worksite wellness programs in controlling excess health risk. Furthermore, improvements in the health risk profiles of a workforce have proven successful in reducing the health care costs of employer over time.
• The value proposition of worksite wellness programs extends well beyond the containment of healthcare costs. Properly implemented workplace wellness programs have a direct impact on company profitability through improved employee engagement. Worker absenteeism/presenteeism and morale is improved and employee loyalty is strengthened, when employers demonstrate their commitment to employees and their families through worksite health promotion programs. Comprehensive worksite wellness programs truly help to create the kind of “Employer of Choice” culture that attracts and retains the top-quality employees that most companies value.
