A WORKSITE INFLUENZA VACCINATION PROGRAM
Every year, influenza poses a tremendous burden on working adults and the many businesses that employ them, by contributing to absenteeism and lost productivity. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that employee vaccination programs can reduce absenteeism by 36% and provide a cost saving of medical care and sick leave by over 46% per vaccinated employee. Another study from researchers at the University of Pittsburgh demonstrates that even greater cost savings can be realized if flu vaccination programs are conducted before December. Consequently, worksite health programs are becoming increasingly popular as employers attempt to boost employee productivity, reduce health care costs and foster a healthy work environment. The New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) encourages all employers to develop an influenza vaccination program that promotes and/or provides influenza vaccinations in the workplace.

THE BENEFITS OF CORPORATE HEALTH PROGRAMS

Event-specific company physical profile analysis (ppa) or physical exams can help identify potential health problems before work-related travel or a new hire and recommend a corrective course of action for the employee. In this way, the employee can act before becoming ill to maintain his or her health, resulting in fewer sick days. Additionally, business physical exams are ideal for identifying minor as well as major health issues. The opportunity to discuss and get assistance for minor aches and pains will result in happier, more comfortable, and more productive workers.
Providing a corporate wellness program also helps to establish loyalty among employees. If an employee knows that the company is providing him or her with a valuable service and investing in his or her future well-being, the employee is more likely to remain loyal to the company. Long-term employees mean less investment in the time consuming recruitment, hiring, and training process.
