Today’s corporate wellness clinics are proving to be difference makers for corporations.
The largest single asset of a company is typically its people. When other assets such as the building that houses these workers shows signs of wear and tear and starts to crumble, deficiencies are easy to spot and money is found to fix it. This is not the case with employee assets. Deterioration of human vitality and productivity through stress is much more difficult to identify. Employees may show occasional signs of stress but by the time it becomes noticeably damaging to their productivity, it’s too late. Resulting chronic illness and disability eventually can lead to costly short-term and long-term disability issues.
Today’s corporate wellness clinics are proving to be difference makers for corporations. In-house corporate wellness clinics represent a proactive approach positioned to meet workers on the frontline. Injuries therefore can be quickly assessed and appropriately treated. Nutritional counselling and stress management programs can be implemented on an ongoing basis as needed to further this value by providing employee foundational support, i.e. potentially building stronger immune systems. An on-site setting is the perfect portal for delivering these types of high value services.
On-site delivery offers a second benefit to the company by significantly increasing employee engagement. Engagement refers to the extent to which employees are performing at optimum levels, with a positive view of their roles. A high degree of job satisfaction and a low level of workplace stress will lead to more resilient workers and higher corporate revenues as shown in Figure 1 below. In today’s business world, a vast majority of companies are struggling with the concept of “dis-engagement”.
| Figure 1. The 2003 Towers Perrin Report on Engagement, plus several dozen other rigorous studies, have shown that when Engagement Improves, Revenues Increase and the Cost of Sales Decreases. A 10% improvement in Engagement creates a 1% improvement in Revenue ... and a 3% improvement in Profitability. |
Corporate wellness clinics are well positioned to be the front-line difference maker to produce more resilient workers, who are less stressed, more satisfied and highly engaged. This leads to higher share holder value which means enhanced corporate bottom line dollars.
Why should you engage us?
Experience and reputation mean everything when working in a corporate environment.
We have the experience. We have launched multiple clinics across many industries on different scales.
We know which mistakes to avoid so you can be confident of a smooth and stream lined transition from clinic launch to full roll out with no surprises.
How will it help my organization?
We tailor our clinics to what your needs and goals are.
The skill and experience of our practitioners insures that the needs of the workforce are addressed. Nagging injuries, ergonomic issues, stress management and nutritional management are but a few of the conditions that we are well equipped to manage.
Organizations have been feeling and will continue to see the effects of prolonged stress in the workplace. The business environment will continue to become more competitive, will be in a constant state of change and the volume of work placed on workers will increase. Combine this with greater personal pressures at home and the health and productivity of employees will suffer. Organizational engagement will become worse.
A corporate clinic is positioned perfectly to address these issues at the front line because if offers the following:
- Convenience factor: Services are available at the work place. Access is easy. Workers have less time to seek help for health issues outside of work due to time constraints which include longer commutes and family responsibilities. Health concerns are often ‘put off’ and this delay can lead to chronic health problems which in turn may lead to reduced productivity and disability leave.
- Coaching: On-going follow-up with individual health management programs often leads to permanent health and lifestyle changes. Weekly sessions to address physical conditions, nutritional concerns and stress management plans will have greater buy in and follow through.
- Engagement: Reducing employee stress while increasing satisfaction will increase corporate engagement.
- Results: Outcomes are how we measure success. We start with a 3 month pilot clinic and at the end of that trial period, we compare metrics for the same period of time during the previous year. Metrics may look at productivity, absenteeism and sick days.
