Employers can increase productivity and reduce costs of health care at the same time?

Employers can and should encourage styles healthy lifestyles among their employees. Not only improves their productivity is good for society, which directly lowers health care costs!

Duke University has published a very interesting study. The study focused on data from the Workers' Compensation 11,728 employees of Duke University who received risk assessments health over a period of seven years.

What were the results for obese employees (as opposed to those who are not obese), as was published in the Journal of Internal Medicine?

* Employees were obese were twice the number of complaints from workers

* Employee expenses obese "health of these applications have been seven times

* The obese employees stayed away from work 13 times after injury or illness

* Employees obese medical claims costs per 100 employees per year was U.S. $ 51,019 compared with $ 7,503 for non-obese workers

* Obese employees lost 183 days of work per 100 employees compared to 14 days for non-obese workers (Which is 13 times more!)

Yes, but these boys were obese. Well, does not look good overweight and mild obesity, …

* Employees overweight has four times the number of vacation days after being injured or become ill at work.

* Some obese employees take days five times rest after being injured or fall ill at work.

And what are employers doing? The study reveals that …

"Almost 40 percent of employers are giving workers products, cash or health insurance discounts to lose weight, "said Laura Linnan, principal investigator the study and professor at the University of North Carolina School of Public Health.

Employers are afraid too. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, assistant professor medical and health economist at Stanford University co-authored a 2005 study showed that employers compensate for anticipated higher medical costs for workers obese employees by paying them less fine and passing them over for promotions.

What we do with this rally?

Obesity and overweight is very bad for the person that affects … but also bad for employers because the costs of health care to eat in the benefits.

The problem is pretty basic, but the solution can not be so easy. We must address this issue of concern in a solution of the fitness business. Three actions that employers must take …

1. Adopt a culture of fitness of the CEO with the knowledge that is best for business

"We all know that obesity is bad for the individual, but it is not only a medical team – which extends into the workplace and has concrete economic costs, "Dr. Truls Ostbye-author and professor of Family and Community Medicine

Hey Well, if this is not personal or private physician, then it becomes a community problem. Means that the problem is really great, but once resolved, the solution is more sustainable. The solutions involve the community simply work better. This works for problems such as gang violence or addiction and other vices. From my experience as a fitness professional, the community-based solutions work in health goals. Kickboxing, pilates, yoga, aerobics, fitness classes or other group activities are more high penetration (about 12-15% in most health clubs) that the training of personnel (2-3%). class groups of people to stay longer so.

A community solution to how the company should be integrated into the corporate culture. Usually, this is dictated by a general manager or board of directors. If you spend time reading articles like this, you are probably aware of the problems facing companies in today's world. They are also probably aware that companies have a culture of adaptation that is capable of managing change circumstances that tend to do very, very well. 2-3 times as much profit wise in some studies. Moreover, the establishment of a culture of fitness is concerned about the employees (and allows them to be more productive) and long-term costs cheaper than medical bills. As a side note a minor, their employees are healthy and that too in itself has its own headquarters benefits.

Once the CEO decided that fitness is necessary and, indeed, the course that society should take, you can apply the same way, brings changes culture

* Align your corporate culture with its strategic objectives (ability to save money, make employees more productive and more attractive to customers, and increase profits)

* Develop an individual action plan that can take advantage of good things in their current culture and not aligned properly. (Employee Friday Free Breakfast can be good, but what makes pancakes and pancake ADB)

* Improvements to the official policy of exchange of ideas and everyday practices. (Allow some time to work the physical and health education and activities, ensuring that managers lead by example, providing healthy food in the cafeteria to wait 15 minutes breaks at work for snacks)

* Develop model desired behaviors and actions. (How many hours Minimum per week, an employee must exercise, social support and encouragement for healthy eating is not only acceptable but desirable, personnel management should be involved with enthusiasm)

* Communicate the corporate culture of fitness for all new employees (everyone say about it)

* New corporate culture-Plus in front of the gym and actions around the world. (Tell everyone about it over and over again with the controls to ensure that the new culture continues)

Remember, people often do not do what you expect. They do what they inspect.

2. Find a professional you can trust

A fitness professional respect is a real asset for the company. Think about it. Accounting firms to businesses and tax bills, they get law firms to legal documents, and obtain business consultants to verify their business processes. Where to get a fitness professional to manage health and fitness business?

Not at all. The best professionals businesses will approach fitness gym. A fitness professional can help you create and manage the health, fitness classes, to give talks to encourage employees to take a healthy, individually designed training for those in need and provide good care for people with extreme obesity, or past injuries and medical conditions.

3. Only accept success

No CEO would accept a lower quality work by an employee, or accept the failure of major projects, not accept a lack of integrity in regard to funding either. Except not the case with the business of fitness program?

As mentioned in section 1, any new program must be executed. It is a kind of "tough love" that must happen. Hey Mr. CEO … take attendance at exercise classes, walking around the cafeteria at noon to see what people eat, not their managers to be talking positively and motivation in the fitness program as they do in the present project?

Only good things can come out of a corporation that has a fitness emphasis. fitness company made Long Way. I know of companies that have gyms and health centers for their staff.

But as we always have to find the person before providing the venue and agenda. In this case, there are 2 people. The executive director is willing to implement change, and fitness professional who knows how to get results.
