For SMALL BUSINESS COUNSELORS & CONSULTANTS

Welcome to our site! This site was developed to help you promote a healthy workplace environment.

You already help small businesses and their owners work on their businesses.  However, you may not be aware that workplace wellness can also have a huge impact on a business' bottom line--especially a small business.  Businesses that invest $1 in workplace wellness can often reap $3 to $5 in savings through lowered healthcare costs, decreased absenteeism and decreased workers' compensation claims.

That's one of the reasons that we developed the Small Business Wellness Initiative. You can understand why it is important to promote workplace wellness, particularly in small businesses, when you consider the following facts:

• Small businesses are hardest hit by health insurance costs
• Small businesses have the highest rates of substance abuse
• Small businesses are more easily disrupted by employee well-bring and physical or mental illness
• Small businesses are least likely to have health/wellness resources
• Small businesses lack mechanism for receiving health and wellness information
• Small businesses employ the majority of our citizens

If your organization is dedicated to promoting a healthy, productive workplace, we have resources and services that can help you. If you are interested in starting a wellness or prevention initiative in your area, let us share our expertise.
