| WHY YOUR COMPANY SHOULD SUBSIDIZE MEMBERSHIP In this competitive business environment, all companies are seeking innovative ways to reduce costs across the board and attract and retain the best people. Providing a health club subsidy is perhaps the only benefit that a company can provide that will have a positive return on their investment. The return on investment is clear when you realize the significant part that fitness plays in successful recruiting, productivity, reduced absenteeism, reduced disability time, improved morale, reduced turnover and training costs, and reduced medical claims. HEALTHIER EMPLOYEES HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON A COMPANY'S BOTTOM LINE! POSITIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT The Coors Brewing Company estimated an average return of $6.15 for every dollar invested in its wellness program. REDUCED MEDICAL COSTS Studies have shown, physically active employees are $391 less expensive than non-active employees. Participants in a corporate fitness program at Steelcase Inc. had medical claim costs that were 55% lower over a six-year period than those who were non-participants. ATTRACT THE BEST People today are choosing firms more for the culture they have created than for the pay package they are providing. Healthy companies attract and recruit the best and the brightest. Health club membership is the most requested benefit. DECREASED TURNOVER AND TRAINING COSTS At both British Columbia Hydro Plant and the Toronto Life Assurance Company, lower turnover rates occurred among those employees who participated in their companies’ health programs. REDUCED ABSENTEEISM Research has shown that health club patrons are absent from work only 2.11 days per year compared to 3.06 days for inactive individuals. IMPROVED EMPLOYEE MORALE One year after opening its Wellness Centre, Northern Telecom employees were surveyed. The results: 91% believed that the program increased employees’ quality of life and reduced stress. Healthy employees felt better about themselves and the companies they work for. Today, over 90% of employers have programs in place to promote employee health.
