“Corporate wellness programs have been shown to provide a 3-to-1 return on investment. According to the report, too little attention is being paid to preventing chronic diseases, with only 3 percent of spending in industrialized nations going toward prevention. Yet "as we get older, fatter and less active, the weight of the world is falling on the bottom lines of the world's largest companies in the form of reduced productivity, increased tax burdens and declining competitiveness," said Jim Henry, PwC's global leader for health care.”

“Our survey showed employees in their 30s were remarkably inactive. This may be due, in part, to the fact that 30-somethings are more likely to be consumed in raising a family, and aren't allocating the time for exercise. Workers in their 30s may be at peak productivity but also at greatest risk for neglecting their health and developing long-term health problems due to poor lifestyle choices. Corporate wellness programs should be especially attentive to the needs and issues of this age group.”

“The WOW ME! staff of professionals has made a tremendous impact on my staff. With the demands of a growing business, often our health is the first thing compromised, something we had all felt the effects. Now, as a team, we have embraced ensuring our wellness is part of our everyday life both in and outside of work, which has made a significant improvement in not only performance but overall attitude! Thank you WOW ME!”

“Trend Offset Printing has manufacturing divisions in Texas , Florida and Southern California . Aside from raw materials and labor costs, our two single largest expenses are health care benefits and worker's compensation. It was imperative to the business to be able to control the double-digit increases faced annually in these areas.

Erin and the WOW ME! staff provided a very practical plan that enthusiastically gained the buy-in of our workforce for improved health and a higher level of fitness, ultimately leading to lower health and worker comp costs.

Beginning with the collection of simple, key bio-metric data from each employee, WOW ME! synthesized the information into a series of individual goals, team incentives and work-conditioning exercises.

We now have willing participation of our employees to improve not only their own physical well-being, but they are becoming better consumers of their and company health dollars. This is going to result in a big pay-off that will dove-tail seamlessly into the long-term wellness programs designed by our major carriers, while reducing work-related injuries and absenteeism. Our workforce now feels better, works better and is healthier ... a homerun with the bases loaded!”
