5. Health promotion program at the workplace

Why is there a health promotion program for employees?

However, taking care of employee welfare is considered a major expense.

However, in fact they are “indirect costs” that are not visible such as absence of employee, substitute workers, overtime fees, new employee training or loss of efficiency when employee come to work with unprepared physical or mental ailments, various compensations, etc.

When considering both “direct expenses” and “indirect expenses” it has been determined that if an employer chooses a health promotion program for employees in order to prevent both physical and mental illness, which is a primary problem of the organization, employees will feel cared for and will work more efficiently. This will help the organization become a “healthy workplace” with high efficiently. This translates into a real cost reduction, well worth the investment in the organization’s human resources.
