| Abstract: | To control runaway health care costs, many employers are spending a lot of time and money to develop healthy workers. Exercise and smoking cessation programs are becoming as standards as the 10-minute coffee break. Adolph Coors Company, for example, has spent the past 10 years creating a wellness program it estimates saves the company at least 1.9 million USD annually by decreasing medical costs, reducing sick leave and increasing productivity. For every dollar spent on wellness, Coors sees a return of 6.15. Sunseeds Genetics, Inc. is another company that ranks healthy employees very highly. Its program includes cholesterol and hypertension screenings, lifestyle evaluations and education sessions. |
