Immunizations
Vaccinations can help prevent illness, outbreaks, and absenteeism at your business — especially during peak respiratory virus season. Each year, vaccine-preventable diseases cost $27 billion in treatment.20 When employees stay healthy, you boost engagement and save on health care costs.21
Employers can increase employee vaccination rates by educating employees on how to get vaccinated. Higher employee vaccination rates are linked to higher rates among their family members.22 Higher rates of vaccination not only boost immunity across households but also support a healthier, more productive workforce.
Encouraging recommended immunizations can help protect your team — and your bottom line.

Sleep Management
Poor sleep is common among working-age adults and is linked to many negative workplace outcomes. Research shows inadequate sleep and poor sleep quality contribute to increased employee stress, depression, and fatigue, further impacting employee health and job performance.32
The effects of chronic insufficient sleep extend beyond individual well-being, significantly affecting businesses and the economy. According to the CDC, only 61% of adults consistently get the recommended 7 or more hours of sleep per night.33 Workplace consequences, such as reduced productivity and increased errors, cost employers $1,200 to $3,100 per employee every year.34
You can help mitigate these risks by exploring our Rest and Revive Toolkit for resources that support healthy sleep habits.
