For WELLNESS & PREVENTION PROFESSIONALS

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

As a wellness or prevention professional, you may already know the impact that wellness plays on an individual.  However, have you considered the impact that an individual's wellness plays in the workplace?   Employee wellness has a huge impact on a business' bottom line--especially a small business.  That's one of the reasons that we developed the Small Business Wellness Initiative. 

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.  In addition to the overall wellness of employees, you can understand why businesses are beginning to an interest in workplace wellness programs.  Small businesses are significantly more likely to be affected by employee wellness 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 you and/or your organization is dedicated to promoting healthy, productive lifestyles, we have resources and services that can help you promote them in the workplace. If you are interested in starting a wellness or prevention initiative in your area, let us share our expertise.
