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 for information
on how to create a wellness program and a low-cost newsletter to promote wellness
