The most important asset of a company are its employees. Like anything of value they need to be nurtured and feel appreciated. There is nothing more important a company can do for its employees than helping and directing them along the path of good health and wellness. Consequently, the first and most important impact is to build tremendous goodwill with the work force (USA Today Article). Reducing sick days while increasing productivity are obvious other measurable benefits. However, the opportunity exits with the changing tax laws that significant financial savings can be derived for the company, as employees are encouraged to setup HSA and go onto high deductible health plans. Self-funded companies will see immediate benefits as employees become educated healthier consumers. Copyright © 2004, Transformations' 5 Step, Inc.
