WELLNESS LUNCHEON TO ADDRESS IMPACT ON BOTTOM LINE

Businesses in North Texas are invited to learn how wellness programs can impact their bottom line at the Wellness Pays Luncheon on Tuesday, August 10.

The initiative, a community collaborative project funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, will also discuss the results of a research study on the effectiveness of health promotion and wellness programs conducted in small businesses in Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties.

“Research studies suggest that, for every dollar invested in health promotion, a company saves $3 to $5 in health and safety costs,” says Kelly Heath, project director of the Small Business Wellness Initiative.

“Businesses that invest in employee health and wellness reap the financial rewards through savings on health care costs, disability pay, absenteeism, employee turnover and safety problems.”

For more information or to RSVP for the luncheon, contact Roxanne Martinez at (817) 332-6329 ext. 240 or by email at: r.martinez@tarrantcouncil.org.
