Balanced Work

Happy, healthy employees is smart business

If this looks like one of your employees, it’s time for a Balanced Work program.

The surest way to stay competitive and profitable is through happy, healthy employees. The recession is over. It is time to invest in your employees and ensure your organizations remains competitive for the future.

A 2010 Maclean’s article stated, “Keeping employees and their managers in good shape is crucial for a company’s success. When an executive is incapacitated, the effect on the bottom line can be especially severe: losing such a person to illness can cost a company millions after lost revenue, disability expenses and the costs of find a replacement…But most companies health plans focus on treating disease instead of preventing it, which is backwards. Get employees healthy and keep them healthy, so they are productive. What employees do with their bodies affects their brains.”
