Proven Benefits to Employees and Employers
As an employer, it is easy to be frustrated with the skyrocketing costs for medical coverage, particularly since it is estimated that 80% of disease is preventable. Nutrition in Motion’s Worksite Wellness Programs focus on a claims prevention approach—helping to prevent lifestyle based illnesses, while also helping to mitigate the effect of other illnesses, through nutrition and exercise-based solutions. We encourage, educate, and support your employees and, by extension their dependents, to make healthy nutrition, exercise and lifestyle choices. These learned skills help to improve quality of life, increase productivity, and reduce medical intervention. The average American adult spends a great proportion of their waking hours at work. Providing education and supporting healthy lifestyle choices in the workplace can create an environment for positive change and increase opportunities for long term success!
