Why workforce health matters
As the situation around COVID-19 continues to evolve, we’re here for you and your employees.
You have an opportunity to improve the health of your employees every day. Making small changes to your workplace and company policies is a great way to start, and it’s where you can make the biggest impact. On these pages, you’ll find the tools and support to build a culture of health at work — and see how the right partner can help guide you along the way.
Poor lifestyle choices increase the risk of chronic conditions, which have a negative effect on your employees’ lives and can raise your premiums. They also make it harder to be productive, lead to more sick days, and increase workers’ compensation costs. The good news is that many lifestyle risks can be affected by behavior change — which you’re uniquely positioned to influence.
