Weight Management

Obesity is a costly condition that impacts the health and well-being of roughly 30% of the American workforce.⁷ Along with direct health risks like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, obesity drives absenteeism at work and increases medical claims.⁸ It can also be associated with mental health conditions like depression and anxiety.⁹ In 2023, these direct and indirect costs added up to an economic impact of $425.5 billion.⁷

To help your employees maintain a healthy weight, there are ways you can build physical, mental, and social health consciousness in your workplace. Support healthy eating by providing nutritious foods in break rooms and meetings. Integrate opportunities for walking, stretching, or meditation into the workday. Promote resources for nutrition education, weight management, and food security. You can even incentivize healthy habits with team challenges and rewards.

Explore how you can help your employees achieve their weight management goals.
