Wellness programs help to lower workers compensation overall claims costs.
Studies suggest that for every $1 invested in employee wellness programs, an
organization saves $3 to $5 in health and safety costs. Companies save on
average about $3.50 in medical costs and $5.80 in absenteeism for every dollar
spent on workplace health promotions.
Providing employees with a variety of work-site-based health promotions and
disease prevention programs have been shown to:
-
Reduce healthcare costs
-
Reduce workers’ compensation claims
-
Reduce absenteeism
-
Raise productivity
-
Raise morale
At Penn National Insurance, we believe that employers who implement a wellness
program can expect future savings on workers’ compensation costs. Look below
