Wellness and the Bottom Line Employers today are confronting a perfect storm: ever-rising health care costs, coupled with an economy in recession. The pressure to reduce budgets and to cut expenses is overwhelming. At the same time, employees must cope with the hard reality of job insecurity. As they struggle to balance work, family and finances, how can a compassionate employer support them while still remaining faithful to the bottom line?

The answer is wellness. Why wellness? Because it works! Smart employers know that cutting health care costs across the board requires focusing on the overall health of their workforce. Healthier employees experience a lower risk of developing chronic disease, resulting in direct savings for the company and an excellent return on investment. This is why corporate wellness programs are forecast to become one of the fastestgrowing trends in 2009.

Wellness Corporate Solutions (www.wellnesscorporatesolutions.com) is a woman-owned small business that builds customized, high-impact corporate wellness programs that have a long track record of delivering results for world-class public companies, professional firms and nonprofit agencies. We have a "hands on" approach that includes:

At Wellness Corporate Solutions, we believe behavior change drives health status. Chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, high blood lipids, and insulin resistance are at an all time high; our nation is facing a true epidemic of chronic disease that is related to diet, weight management, stress, smoking and exercise. Wellness Corporate Solutions believes in targeting the prevention of disease by delivering customized programs that keep employees healthy, happy, and motivated to become more proactive about their health.

It's all about balance--balanced nutrition, balanced budgets, balanced lifestyles, and balanced energy.

Wellness Corporate Solutions is dedicated to helping employers achieve balance by developing comprehensive health initiatives that focus the entire organization toward a common goal: better health. Employers and employees will both reap the financial benefits and the organization as a whole will be better able to weather the current economic storm.
