Placing employee wellness and insurance benefits planning near the bottom of your list of priorities can be a costly and flawed strategy.

Two myths could be holding your business back.

MYTH 1

Dealing with employee illness is part of the cost of doing business. It’s easier to treat the symptoms than invest in eliminating the cause.

FACT

Employee physical and mental illness often grow within a workplace where stress is present. The deeper its roots, the harder it is to remove.

MYTH 2

Encouraging owners and employees to proactively take charge of their health and wellness won’t make a difference – they will still get sick.

FACT

Studies confirm that owners and employees who develop better coping skills in an empowering environment don’t get sick as often.
