The stats are clear when it comes to the subject of employee health.

Just as importantly, studies have also shown that poor health can cost employers large amounts of money in a variety of ways. In this article, we will take a quick look at a few of the most important ways that having healthy employees can help your bottom line. To conclude, we will discuss a few of the best ways that you can cultivate a healthy workplace.

How employee health helps your bottom line

Health employees are less likely to be involved in workplace accidents. Moreover, they are less likely to contract work-related illness. And the overall fitness of such employees reduces their chance of missing work for health related causes altogether. Lower insurance rates, fewer workers comp claims, and higher employee morale are all added reasons to promote employee health. Last but not least, healthier people are more resilient to stress, which also reduces turnover rates.

How to help promote employee health

Instituting employee wellness programs can help reduce employee illness and injury while also improving employee morale. Offering perks such as gym membership can also create a healthier workforce and make your positions more attractive. Last but not least, stocking the kitchen with healthy foods and encouraging employees to take breaks are also important ways of promoting health while creating a more welcoming workplace.
