Unhealthy Employees Hurt Corporate Health

Overall medical costs have been increasing 9.8% annually on a national basis and are expected to double again in the next 7 to 8 years. In a typical U.S. company, 15% of employees accrue 78% of medical expenses.

These same employees are also responsible for 70% of lost productivity in the form of sick days, presenteeism, poor quality work, and other inefficiencies. What’s more, unhealthy employees tend to become less healthy over time and cost their employer a disproportionate amount in medical costs, lost revenue and productivity. In comparison, healthy employees are more productive and incur lower medical costs for employers.
