Employers Help Interested Employees Cut the Fat

Executive Summary
If you are interested in reading reams of
statistics about how many people get which diseases because they are overfat
and how much money is spent to keep them alive … this is the wrong resource.
We all know that being overfat is unhealthy and that the subsequent cost
of care is very high. We also know that virtually all overfat people want
to lose their excess fat and that most employers are willing to help them
accomplish this goal.
Some employers build and operate elaborate on-site
wellness centers. Many others offer to pay health club membership fees
and/or the costs related to participating in diet programs. Still others
reward employees (albeit unofficially) with opportunity and/or money who
maintain a healthy body composition … a few actually pay their employees
to exercise.
Alas, desire, effort, opportunity and money are insufficient
catalysts. As a result, most employees are actually getting fatter and,
consequently, the severity and frequency of related health-care problems
(due in part to the fact that our workforce is aging) are increasing at
alarming rates. And, regrettably, data to support most employers’ related
investments are, at best, soft.
Return on Investment (ROI) |
No doubt, most of the money spent by employers to help
overfat employees lose their excess fat is wasted.
Diets rarely cause sustainable weight loss and exercise,
even though most employees report that they “feel” better
when they do it, hardly ever produces the desired result.
Cost/Benefit Analysis
No matter how you add up the numbers, most employers
should immediately redirect their budgeted dollars away
from the status quo and toward something that is much
more likely to succeed.
Here’s the good news, industry leaders have already
sorted through the details and know what to do … and,
more importantly, they are already running successful fat
lose/fat avoidance programs.
More good news, (from a cost-based prospective), the
information is in the public domain, easy to get and free.
For the record, it’s not about spending more money and/or
committing more resources. In fact, once your employees
|
learn what to do and how to do it … your company will
most likely save money, use less resources and …
ultimately, employ a healthier, happier group of people.
Sound like “pie in the sky”? Well … it’s not, and there is
very hard data to prove it.

We all know that being overfat is unhealthy and that the subsequent
cost of care is very high. |
