Here are some fun facts to keep in mind:
  • 5% of employees account for 55% of health care costs – healthy employees don’t make many demands on the health care system
  • One third of your employees probably have some sort of chronic illness, which amounts to 75% of health care costs. This means diabetes, heart problems, respiratory problems, allergies.
  • 60% of employees don’t engage in enough activity to be healthy – that is 30 minutes or exercise 3 times per week at a minimum
