Employee Wellness Program Can Attract Motivated Workers Lehigh Valley

An effective worksite wellness program can attract exceptional employees, improve on-the-job decision-making and time utilization, enhance employee morale and organizational commitment, reduce turnover, and reduce organizational conflict.

Employer spending on health promotion and chronic disease prevention is a good business investment. Programs have achieved a rate of return on investment ranging from $3 to $15 for each dollar invested with savings realized within 12 to 18 months. Meta-analyses have shown a 28% average reduction in sick leave absenteeism, an average 26% reduction in health care costs, and a 30% average reduction in workers' compensation and disability management claims costs. Other benefits include recruitment, retention, and improved corporate image. Benefits to society from healthier employees extend well beyond the workplace.

Baseline Medical features a 10 minute non-invasive vascular ultrasound exam of the carotid arteries in the neck to learn about individual's risk for heart disease and stroke. Serious disease can be diagnosed and treated before it is a life-changing health issue.

Just as your physician would recommend a cancer screening with a colonoscopy or mammogram is why Baseline Medical supports physicians who agree that screenings for heart disease and stroke are just as important. The screening results identify the problem and send the warning in time.
