Why Invest in Workplace Health?

Healthy Workplaces Generate Positive Outcomes

A healthy workplace offers both well-being and financial advantages to organizations and their employees.  On average people living in Alberta spend 35 hours per week at work. This means that for almost half (44%) of an employee's waking hours, their work environment is influencing the choices they make around their health.  Studies show that employees who work in a healthy and safe work environment tend to feel more engaged and satisfied with their jobs. Additionally, employers who invest in a healthy workplace see significant value and savings. For every $1 invested in promoting employee health, organizations can expect a $3 return through heightened productivity, reduced healthcare costs, lower absenteeism and turnover, and increased attractiveness to potential new hires.

Transform your organization into a place where everyone thrives in a culture that prioritizes and nurtures health and well-being and start seeing the cost savings and benefits:
