Encouraging employee health and wellness has economic benefits for employers. Low physical activity levels and unhealthy eating habits contribute to the rise in chronic diseases across Peel.
Investing in employee wellness makes good business sense. There are significant costs associated with employee illness such as reduced productivity, sick pay, and recruitment costs. Small changes in the daily routines of employees can help reverse these trends.
Working together, we can implement simple steps to support a healthier workforce.
