How Employee Health Benefits Your Company's Health - Finnegan Pierson - ContactCenterWorld.com Blog

How Employee Health Benefits Your Company's Health

Employers across every field need to take measures to promote their employees’ health. Investing in infrastructure and programs that prioritize your workforce’s health can benefit individual workers while also improving the company as a whole. Here are some ways that individual employees’ health and a company’s health are closely intertwined.

Productivity

In general, healthy workers can get more work done than people who are experiencing adverse health conditions. They can get through a workday with less discomfort and tend to have better endurance. For this reason, employee wellness programs that offer general preventive medicine benefits could pave the way to better productivity levels. Making changes in the workplace that can support workers’ health can have similar effects on productivity. 

Ergonomics

Apart from responsibly reducing the risk of potential hazards in the workplace, it’s important for employers to give adequate attention to ergonomics. In many industries, repetitive motion injuries can give rise to more workers’ compensation claims than injuries resulting from isolated events. Even office workers are highly susceptible to workplace injuries that could be preventable. 

An ergonomic evaluation of employees’ workstations can help improve conditions and protect workers against injury. Special computer equipment can address chronic subluxation and other common orthopedic maladies among administrative professionals such as carpal tunnel syndrome or cervical spondylosis. If employers take meaningful steps to help personnel accomplish job functions with less pain, they can maintain better focus and be better able to handle a demanding workload.   

Corporate Culture

For the most part, people value working for employers who genuinely care about their health. When you take affirmative measures to demonstrate the paramount importance of workers’ well-being, it can foster the development of a positive company culture. People who feel supported by an employer are more likely to experience better job satisfaction and take pride in being a part of the company.

Burnout

There is a growing epidemic of burnout in corporate America. People can become understandably frustrated and overwhelmed when they feel like they aren’t able to meet expectations from supervisors or they simply don’t have the resources that they need from their employers in order to do a good job. In particular, long workdays and problematic organizational dynamics can make people become fatigued, disengaged, and demoralized. Assigning the right level of priority to employee wellness is a good proactive way to prevent this phenomenon from negatively impacting individuals or even entire departments. 

A comprehensive wellness program that includes adequate attention to physical and health needs can dramatically mitigate the risk of this from happening to members of a workforce. Preventing burnout will effectively reinforce productivity levels while also helping companies hang onto their most valuable employees instead of losing them out to competitors who can offer them less burdensome.

Attendance

Employees who are in generally good health tend to be absent from work less frequently than those who suffer from health conditions. They may be more resistant to infection or seasonal illnesses. Likewise, they are less prone to major health conditions affecting one or more of the body’s vital functions. 

In effect, people who are in good shape both physically and mentally will require less time out of the office. This benefits companies because other employees won’t have to shoulder increases to their workload to cover for colleagues who are taking sick time. In addition, they won’t be in the position of having to hire temporary replacements who likely won’t be able to perform tasks with the same ease and efficiency as the individuals who they’re filling in for. Finally, reduced absenteeism can mean less utilization of short-term or long-term disability benefits

Costs

Measures to keep a workforce healthy could keep workers’ compensation and health insurance premiums down for employers. With less utilization of benefits, it helps carriers continue to offer competitive rates instead of having to raise rates after excessive claims.

Ultimately, companies should make workers’ wellness a top operational priority. A company’s leadership, policies, and employment practices should all reflect the importance of employees’ health.
