Why the Workplace?

– Time spent at work

– Majority of people work

– Policies

– Supportive environment

– Access to services

– Return on investment (ROI)

© 2011 Chevron

Research

– The latest productivity research indicates that individuals with multiple risk factors are absent more, injured more, and return to work more slowly than individuals with fewer risk factors

– WELCOA lit review of 400 Wellness programs: Only 2 failed to have a positive ROI
