FIT for WORK Safety Services Ergonomics Texas

Every organization wants to reduce basic health care costs, and there are substantial economic benefits to implementing an employee wellness program.

A Mayo Clinic study estimates that employers lose nearly $47 billion a year in lost productivity as a result of on-the-job pain. Through education, training, self-awareness and a supportive environment, wellness can reduce the need for formal, more costly, health care services, and result in lower-risk and more productive employees.

Fit for Work designs customized, quality wellness programs with a variety of services that make sense for your organization.

Fact-based programming

When you consider that an employee injured on the job may have underlying medical conditions that complicate treatment, it’s easy to see that wellness efforts can provide a big return on investment.

Even without injury, the American Journal of Health Promotion (2001) reports that medical care charges for employees who exercise one day a week are 4.7 percent lower than those that do not exercise at all.
