Big Trouble In Corporate America

Most people in Corporate America are painfully aware that health care costs are totally out of control. This places an ever increasing burden on a company’s bottom line. The fact that most employees today are unhealthier and less productive than ever also spells big trouble for corporate America. Some of the statistics compiled by the National Commission on Productivity are:

In the workplace:

  1. Only 2 out of 10 people are working at their full potential.
  2. Half of the workforce expends only the minimum effort needed to not get fired.
  3. A 20 year research project at Kaiser Permanente estimates that 60 to 90 % of all visits to health care professionals are for preventable disorders.

The Cost To Employers:

  1. Health care in the US has exceeded $1 trillion dollars annually and businesses pay approximately 54% of this cost.
  2. Absenteeism, diminished productivity, employee turnover, accidents, etc, cost American business more than the annual total net profits of the Fortune 500 companies.
  3. US industry loses approximately 550 million workdays each year due to absenteeism.
  4. Workers compensation claims have skyrocketed, California employers annually spend over 1 billion for medical and legal fees.

On and on and on…
