Research has provided good evidence that health promotion in the workplace reduces corporate medical costs1. Many research pieces have been published in the past two years (2003 through early 2005) that demonstrate the positive relationship between employee wellness programs and performance in the workplace2. There is a distinct, upward trend in the amount of publicity and mass media coverage surrounding healthy lifestyles and the importance of good eating habits, smoking cessation, positive mental health, and their effects on worker satisfaction and productivity levels.

Healthy People

Recognizing the alarming upward trend lifestyle-related health risks such as inactivity, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and unintended injuries3 in the general population, T2H supports the goals of the Healthy People 2010 initiative (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) and supports its objectives that 1) All employers, regardless of the size of their business, should offer a "Comprehensive Worksite Health Promotion Program," and 2) All employees should participate in the program4.

Work Site Wellness

The United States spends a greater portion of its gross domestic product on health care than any other industrialized nation, according to The National Coalition on Health Care. Americans spent an estimated $2.1 trillion dollars on health care in 2004.

According to the Association for Productivity and Quality Center (APQC), a trend is emerging in the workplace where employees feel pressed to remain in the workplace even when ill. The term "presenteeism" has been coined by the APQC. Says one executive, "Employers are beginning to realize that they face a nearly invisible but significant drain on productivity: presenteeism, the problem of workers being on the job, but because of illness or other medical conditions, not fully functioning. The situation has reached crisis proportions." The APQC estimates that the phenomenon of "presenteeism" costs U.S. companies over $150 billion a year, even more than absenteeism.
